Shakira rocks in Merida

15th July

+ This colonial town is nice with its narrow and colorful street, with the hustle and bustle around the main plaza, live music everywhere and with the excellent "Yucateca" food. It is also full of history and therefore a good place to learn more about the Spanish colonization and the Mexican revolution.






 Eating the Yucateca style


+ Although we left the cost and its nice beaches with a bit of sadness, the hotel where we stayed was just awesome with a swimming pool surrounded by a beautiful garden and hammocks over the swimming pool  to lazy around during a hot day.

 

 


Our room behind this pink door and the bathroom was pink too! :)


+ Adding to this pinkytude atmosphere, to our surprise, Shakira gave a concert in the town for FREE the next day (as the town celebrated its 25 years of music festival)! We couldn't believe it and some of us (guess whom?) was really excited to get there!!! We (Dani - such a hero) managed to get some of the last tickets, pretty much in the back (and this is really far from the stage if you consider the other 150.000 Mexicans who were also there). In any case Shakira totally rocked!!!
