Izamal, Yucatan












Izamal Jan20
We are in Izamal, the yellow city. Yesterday Dave decided we should all take a tour of the convent and church here. The guide was a young man who said he could speak English. However, all we could hear was an odd mix of English, Spanish, and then Mayan interspersed with perfectly clear dates. 1592!! However what the date referred to we had no idea. This must have been common as he herded us around with hands clicking and clapping.

Macan Che has a really nice pool intended to look like a cenote, the underground lakes common in the Yucatan.We are staying at Macan Che, a few blocks from the center of Izamal.
The photo is our cabin.
Friday we are off to stay at a near by hacienda.
