Mexico 2012 RV Trip - Day 25 - January 21 Celestun - Merida

We bid farewell to our wonderful Celestun beach parking and headed to Progreso and Merida.
We retraced our route to Uman, then headed north. When MX261 hits the ring road around Merida, it turns into an 8-lane superhighway. Northbound from Merida it is 10-lane!
Progreso is a beach resort town north of Merida. The water is very shallow and we read the city had built a pier that is supposed to be about 2 miles long to allow cruise ships to stop there. We weren’t allowed to go out, but it certainly looks long. It curves to the west when it gets out about a mile! After lunch on the beach then headed back to Merida.
We are camped at the Rainbow RV Park – the only one in Merida! When we arrived, Croft and Norma were here, along with another couple, Whit and Jan from California. They both know Johnna and Mimi, US expats living in Merida. 
 Johnna and Mimi joined us and we all went to dinner at a local restaurant then later went to one of the squares to see the free evening entertainment.

No, here is no option to notify me of followup comments. Must be in your options somewhere.
