Well here we are in the land of human sacrifice, cold beer, spicy salsa, tortillas, music and blazingly hot sun.
We have climbed the pyramids at Chitchen Itza, Uxmal and Kabah with every part of our bodies drenched in sweat. What a blood thirsty people these Mayans were - constantly leaping about ripping each other's hearts out and offering them up to the gods. Luckily today's Mexican are a much gentler lot. Merida is a lovely old Spanish town created by another blood thirsty lot - the Spanish. Maybe the human race is getting better.
