Mashup: Brave Ulysses
You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.
Come, my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
The colors of the sea blind your eyes
And you touch the distant beaches
By the sirens sweetly singing.
that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Tennyson/Cream

Hey guys,
Been reading the blog for a few days now because my wife and I are heading down to spend two weeks in a house just outside Progreso tomorrow.
Anyway, great blog -- you seem like a cool couple who's really enjoying the place.
And having lived abroad, I know there is no better resource for tips than the local expats.
So, if you have the time, I'd love a couple of leads on cool places in and around Progresso, as well as Merida -- which seems a little difficult to figure out online.
Things like where a couple -- not too unlike yourselves from Vancouver BC -- would like to go for a drink. Good restaurants, etc.
Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
