Jeez, I'm much more pointed - I've always said that God invented southern Ontario on the last day of the week, when He/She ran out of geography, had a tonne of leftover boredom and wanted to dump it fast for happy hour. One day, one day, maybe I can exchange flat fields and flat water for pyramids and salt water. Until then, I'll YukaBlog myself to the max with you and the other wonderful YukaBloggers.

Thanks Eric, I knew that... but I sure didn't write it. I'll go and replace sauna with steam bath because, for sure, that is what I meant to write :) Mérida rocks! I agree that cosmopolitan, sophisticated, Europeans such as the Dodwell's belong here, and in our neighborhood! Nothing wrong with small beach towns, they are great for vacations, but... Oops!

Kudos to Mimi working the clinic. I feel the same about animals..I can handle people things, just don't show me animal suffering. Have fun in Merida.

I think you probably meant to say 'like a steam bath.' ~eric. Nice post, but let me correct you about a sauna — that’s DRY heat, such as they have in the desert.

Of course, I want them to move to the city. Mic, I don't know the scientific explanation but when it rains, it seems to gather up all the humidity and down it comes as rain leaving the air fresh and drier and the temps a lot lower. What makes Mérida's weather bearable is that we get these tropical downpours about every 3 days in the rainy season. So, humidity builds up and then clears. Over on the coast, the rains have bypassed them lately and the humidity just sits in the air.

Good point Dana, I am going back to add a link to Turtle Bay. I forgot to do that, glad you found it anyway. Sue, I've never known a beach dog that will go in the water. I don't know why but none of the ones over here will go near it. I took (carried) Hombre in once and for months after that he wouldn't even go on the sand if I was anywhere near him. Now, he will run into a couple inches of water chasing Cuba but she plays him because she knows he won't follow her any deeper. She stands just out of his range and taunts him. Yeah Brits, you know you don't want to live out there in small town Canada. Why thank you Ron!

What fun to swim with Chico!! Tell Mimi she is my Hero for helping the animals. Wish I could help but am allergic to dogs/cats - but I have a kitty anyway. Pets are necessary people. I agree with Ron..."damn, I enjoy your posts" :-) Seems strange to me that rain would make it less humid ???....but you are there so am sure you would know from your experience.
