We woke up in the jungle of Hacienda San Jose this morning. We had a wonderful breakfast and read world news, seeing that US airlines are cutting flights due to Coronavirus. I called United to ask for advice and the ticket agent recommended we fly back to the US tomorrow. We packed our things, checked out of Hacienda San Jose with a very heavy heart, and drove to Merida. We spent the afternoon in Merida, taking a carriage ride around the historic district, eating ice cream at a century old ice cream parlor, and shopping at artisan shops along the way. We had a nice afternoon. We’re staying at Hacienda Hotel Merida, a beautiful old in town property.
Our trip to the Yucatán has been wonderful! We’ve stayed in two incredible hacienda properties, where we felt as if we were the only guests, with generous service and meals. We have enjoyed conversations with various local people of the Yucatán, enjoying learning more about their lives. They were always smiling and helpful. We are already looking forward to our next trip to the Yucatán!
