    Lovely homes, looks like a wonderful place for a second home. I have been there once and enjoyed it immensely.

    a few examples of Colonial homes in my neighborhood that have been restored. the floors are pasta tiles unique to the Yucatan area and they lay patterns so it looks like each room has area rugs but are really tiles.

    RIO - Information

    Whereas newcomers to the site need to realize that we can't post all of the basic information every time a newcomer asks, they shouldn't have to put up with juvenile snarkiness that will likely drive them from the site.

    Merida Mexico

    For sone of you who messaged me here is some info: Mérida has one of the largest centro/ histórico-districts in the Americas (surpassed only by Mexico City and Havana, Cuba). Colonial homes line the city streets to this day, in various states of disrepair and renovation; the historical center of Mérida is currently undergoing a minor renaissance as more and more people are moving into the old buildings and reviving their former glory. This is being done primarily by Americans and Canadians because as one Mexican friend said to me " we don't want to live downtown where my grandparents lived! We want to live in the suburbs in new homes." Mérida has a centro/ histórico typical of colonial Spanish cities. The street grid is based on odd-numbered streets running east/west and even-numbered streets running north/south, with Calles 60 and 61 bounding the "Plaza Grande" in the heart of the city. The more affluent neighborhoods are located to the north and the most densely and less affluent populated areas are to the south. The Centro Histórico area is becoming increasingly popular with Americans, Canadians and other expats who are rescuing and restoring the classic colonial structures. The Los Angeles Times recently noted this surge of interest in rescuing Mérida's historic downtown.[4]. Mérida's Centro, or historic core, has an enormous stock of Spanish colonial buildings, in a kaleidoscope of sherbet-hued orange, red, green, and pale blue. Many of these homes are in total disrepair—more than a few have trees sprouting in their living rooms and facades crumbling into the streets—but a growing number are being lovingly maintained or refurbished by Mexicans and expats alike, who find in the bones of the city a canvas for their architectural fantasies. For those used to cutthroat markets in Miami or New York, the prices are literally unbelievable: A two-bedroom in need of a serious refurb, $25,000. A fixer-upper with room to add an in-ground pool, $115,000. A fully restored two-bedroom with a plunge pool and two-and-a-half baths, $160,000.(personally i didn't find anything that i liked in this price range) I am not one to work hard at resoring so i bought a home that had only the outside walls remaining 7 years ago and was completely restored with original tile work, beams etc., but with stainless steel appliances in the kitchen and a pool and solar! The photos below are reprentative of the archeticure you will find-3rd pic is the college two blocks from my house

  7. Enjoy your reports on Merida. I have been to Mexico City and enjoyed it , but just to big for me. Wonder what you think of using Airbnb in Merida ( safety concerns) I am Diamond Hilton but the HGI does not appear to be in the best location. I am an APP user with Hornet my favorite . Twink Bottoms are what I like. Included is a photo from Hornet of a boy I just love. Maybe you already know him. Thanks, FC

    Merida Mexico

    I need to apologize for the spelling and grammatical errors in my last post, I was doing it on my phone! Thanks Bobbalino, but there are truly enough guys for everyone here! Today the doorbell rang at 11:00 and it was the cute guy from the party on my last trip, he left at 1:00 pm and at 2;00 a cute twink from another party showed up and wanted to know if I wanted some fun? He just left and I got a message from another guy that he is looking for "extra work, but I am going out to dinner with a couple friends and after I have a guy I met on grindr staying overnight(he has stayed that last 2 out of 3 nights but he has to get up at 7;00 am to go to work and I needed to sleep in this morning so I didn't have him stay last night and now he thinks I am mad at him...I tried to tell him he did nothing wrong). Going to Brazil next month and I think it will be more restful then Merida! lol

  9. There are a lot of things I would choose to "regrow or start over with" before my long gone foreskin. Liver, heart, lungs, etc. etc. are among them. Even my "regular" skin would come before my foreskin. Best regards, RA1
