We took the bus (5.oo return for both of us) to the seaport town of Progreso which is about a forty minute bus ride from Merida. Progreso has the longest pier in the world which enables it to dock mega cruise ships which are fast contributing to the growth and economy of this once sleepy village. Mind you, its still pretty sleepy, although we were here early in the day on a somewhat chilly January day. We walked the malecon and explored some of the streets and looked at the houses for sale before wandering into a thatched roofed restaurant called Buddies which seems to be the equivelent of the Wilno Tavern for the expats of Progreso. Food was good, beer was cold, people were friendly...what more can one ask!!
