In case those of you who have taken my quiz are wondering "why" to some of the answers I thought I'd comment on a couple things.

The ground is limestone here and many people paint things with a limstone based whitewash ... but almost all buildings are made of cement. Merida is on a huge limstone slab and there are never earthquaks here ... just hurricanes. So limestone and rock is readily available but not used to build houses with.

 My husband's family moved here to help after hurricane a horrible hurricane hit this area 20 years ago this year.

 I moved here to Merida in Oct 2005 to get married a couple weeks later on November 12.

We're close to the gulf, but still it's a 20 minute drive (speeding it would take less, but we try not to do that)

Pigs & Chickens are easiest to raise here and so are the most readily available meats.

The news is many times given in Spanish and then Mayan because many people only speak Mayan. Some people know English, but very few are fluent.

This is a tropical area and so it's very hot and humid ... one of the hottest and most humid in Mexico.

Our Church is named Torre Fuerte which means strong tower
