24th May - Merida - Campeche, Mexico

we took a bus to a stop off town today..campeche. Found a nice dark room (read...dark = no sunlight = cool) and tried to look around. WAY WAY WAY too hot, so brought some peanuts and coke, cooled down and had a rest! Took a cab tonight to a LP suggestion for fresh fish...not really what i had in mind...thought it would be small fishing shacks...turns out a series of fish restaurants. Nice dinner tho, overlooking the water and trying to discourage the hawkers. We ended up walking home along the malecon (boardwalk)...full of campechians running and then several orghanised aerobics sessions. Looks like campeche is making in-roads to tackle the massive problem (no pun intended!!) of mexican obesity. by the looks of it, its a bad problem here...and soooo much takeout and sugary foods.
