For not getting to the hotel until 8PM (central time!).. we had a pretty full and great night.. we really had a great opportunity to see the city up close and personal.
Genny and Christy were waiting for us, and it felt so good to meet a friendly face so far from home. After a quick stop off at the hotel we went to Trompodos for dinner with Christy and Genny. It was pretty yummy... and neat.. the restaurant was an open air restaurant.. We p
robably should of sat closer to some fans as it was Hot! Every one got some yummy food, and Jennifer, the adventuresome one tried a drop of some habanero salsa and could not feel her gums for the rest of the meal.. you really need to be careful about the food that you are warned that is spicy.. as it can be uber spicy.

Shalom lost 0 to one.. but it was a great game. We all got to meet Gabby and his wife.. and his sons and a couple other Shalom people..
Then Genny dropped us back to our hotel and we made our first journey to the Merida town square that is about 5 blocks from our hotel. On the weekend it is the place to be.. we walked around and I am sure all the girls made mental notes about different shops and vendors to come back to, as where I am sure Alan is amazed at our abilities to window shop.
For me the highlight of the stroll was walking down a street that had been closed off to traffic so the restaurants could put more tables out, and 
there was a band and people were up dancing. Every thing felt so alive. It was also pretty cool as we ended up next to a theatre that evidently was having a dance recital because all these little girls were walking out with the parents with bouquet all smiling.

The square has on it the oldest cathedral in the Americas.. and the governmental palace.. it was truly beautiful to walk around.
Every one has been super nice.. we all just need 
to remember not to drink the water.. (especially hard to remember when washing your face or brushing your teeth.. and not to flush toilet paper..
to remember not to drink the water.. (especially hard to remember when washing your face or brushing your teeth.. and not to flush toilet paper..all I going to say about that is...if you are not supposed to drink the water..sticking a hand in to a mexican toilet to pull out toilet paper cannot be good for you!
It has really been great to see how similar we all are.. even when we are all from different places. Can wait for what we can all learn about the lord this week!
