Merida Day 24 - Casa Bonita Decor

Mum and Dad were glad to not have to set an alarm and set of on a tour today. They have been out of the house "touring" 4 days out of the last 5 and Dad is rather stiff from all the walking. As their decision to come down here was impulsive they didn't go into training and had not walked much this winter. However all was not well as they have run out of tea and the only tea that the SuperAki stocks is Chamomile.
There were therefor 2 chores that had to be accomplished today. Booking their return bus ride to Cancun and finding some decent tea. George and Dad took a taxi to the ADO bus station, CAME, and Mum and I took the bus downtown. We went to the market, yes on a Saturday again! It was not as busy as the previous time George and I went but still quite busy. We bought an avocado, mangos, carrots, tomatoes and a strange looking fruit that we will try tonight.
We then went to the Museo de Cuidad (City Museum) and checked out the top two floors. One was a display of art by artists from Merida and another was a display of Modern Mexican architecture. From there we met Dad and George at Restaurante Mary. We had cervesa all around, twice, as we were thirsty, and then some of their good Yucatan food. The total bill for lunch came to 330M$.

At Restaurante Mary (Calle 63 between 56 and 58). One of the reasons we like it
is the large pictures on the wall menu helps you get an idea of what you are ordering.
Also the food is good and the beer cheap.

Dad and George had booked Mum and Dads bus ticket for Wednesday at 6:15am and George and I are going to Chichen Itza on the 9:15am and returning on the 5:15. That should give us enough time to see the whole site (we only saw about a third on the tour) and to do some sketching.
After lunch Mum and Dad bused back and George and I went into the artisans market by the bus and I bought an embroidered blouse and embroidered belt, after a little haggling. We bused home and swam and relaxed before Dad and George headed off to Walmart in search of TEA and other necessities like meat. They have been gone a couple of hours but both like to wander around stores.
in light of the sparse pictures in this post I will end with some of Casa Bonita's decor.

A Mayan style tile embedded in the wall near the pool

Another in the wall by the patio.

A wooden jaguar in the front foyer

Mayan mask also in the front foyer.

Another Mayan mask, this one of a mans head in a jaguars mouth,
on our bedroom wall.

Well the wanderers have returned, claiming to have gone to Walmart via Cancun. They were successful however, we now have tea in the house as well as meat, and wine.
