What a wonderful 2d day we had in Merida!
First we got up early, had breakfast in our room, then an early start to the Roman Theater ruins.
It is spectacular! Here are a few photos. The tiny guy is Joe who is over 6 ft tall!

This photo shows how thin the white marble veneer was.
At one time the entire structure would’ve been covered with white marble. |
Next we walked down to the bullring and crossed the street to see Casa Mitrea, an incredible, HUGE Roman villa ruin. The mosaic floors were wonderful and this house was obviously a mansion, complete with fountains, gardens, and running hot and cold water. This house would have been near the time of Christ so to think people in those times were bumpkins is waaaay off.
