Jan 7- Last day in Merida

We had an awesome week, and on our last day, we decided to hit the market that was mostly closed on Jan 1 and get a French lunch at cafe creme. 

I found the best tacos on the planet (and only 50 cents each)!

We sampled some fiah. It tasted awesome but the kids were afraid to try too much for fear of stomach pains in flight.

This was the Yucatan plant called Chaya.   It is used in drinks and food.  The kids enjoyed the the drinks with lemonade during the trip.

Not many peppers here!

Brandy tried some fruit balls that we all agreed were nasty. She ended up giving them away.

As we left, they were bringing some huge ice blocks into the market. We need these for fishing!

After the market we hit cafe creme.  It was a great French lunch.  Although we found out during lunch that our flight was delayed and we would have to spend the night in dallas. 

Brandy went back for a pre-flight nap while the rest of us tried to clear out our pesos on food.

We finally made it to dallas and 12 degree weather.. The kids enjoyed a little snow before an early wake up and trip home.

It was a fabulous week that felt like a month.  We wore ourselves out but enjoyed starting 2017 in Mexico!
