We spent most of the day in Merida, which is the captial of the State of Yucatan. The temperature was in the 90's today, which is a big change from the overcast day at sea and the tornado watches in Houston (not kidding).
The pier @ Progreso is 6 miles long. It was built this way such that large ships could dock without having to damage the limestone shelf that surrounds the port. Progreso usually has a population of around 35K. During Spring Breaks and other key holidays, this population balloons to greater than 300K.
Tomorrow we will be in Cozumel/Playa del Carmen & are planning to see some Mayan ruins.
