Day 1: Merida and South

We flew into Merida, an old colonial town on the western side of the Yucatan penninsula. This is a photo of the Marrionettas B&B in Merida, where we stayed the first night and assembled the bikes.

From Merida we biked south through Maya country. We stayed on small roads and went through many small Maya villages. This is a photo of a traditional Maya house in the Yucatan. They haven't changed much since before the Spanish arrived.
