DOWN IN MEXICO

We are down in the Yucatan following the Mayan ruins trail. It seems that the border towns have lots of violence but not down here or so the locals claim. The only scary thing so far was the local buses in Merida - boy they are big fast and take no prisoners. his is very intimidating when you are trying to find your way home in a little hire car at night.

carol´s bit

lot of stray dogs down here, I am keeping some chicken in my pocket. There is no animal rescue here , and these dogs are not going to live very long. They are very submissive and friendly and look hopefully for just a little food and kindness. The Mayan people are very friendly and helpful, but they can´t feed themselves, let alone stray dogs. English dogs are very lucky in this respect, there are laws to protect them, here there is nothing, including hope.


More stories and pics to follow when we get home to the RV and find a good WIFI connection.
