Norma: Hi Elsa, thanks for the fabulous pictures. You seem to be truly enjoying your Mexican holidays. How do you like it there?
Elsa: It is very interesting. Such a different culture. We've been here for 5 days, so it still feels too new to make any appreciations.
Norma: Has the weather been kind to you all the time?
Elsa: Mostly so, one afternoon looked like heavy rain but turned out to be only a short shower. And so warm you could wash yourself in it!
Norma: Where are you precisely?
Elsa: <file_other>
Norma: Looks like a housing estate, with square blocks, a precise grid of streets and wide avenues leading up to it.
Elsa: It is slightly similar to yours, even with guards and check points, but without high-security fences. Turn on the satellite view to get more details. But the houses are very, very simple. Nothing like your luxurious abodes!
Norma: Mexico is not a very rich country, I understand. But this Merida looks so huge! And you are on the outskirts of it, aren't ?
Elsa: Correct. This part is brand new and fairly well-off by Mexican standards. Lower and middle-middle, I should say. We don't mind being in a suburb since we've got a car. And we've been doing plenty of driving!
Norma: Let me guess: Marcus as macho as ever?
Elsa: You bet! But I simply enjoy it and let him do all the driving if he insists on it.
Norma: Yeap, that's best for both of you. I'm our only driver too now, but it's only because of his post-operative condition. A couple more weeks and we change the wheel.
Elsa: Which is only fair! Oh well...
Norma: Have a lovely rest of your stay in Merida. And send me new pics please!
Elsa: Love!
Elsa and Marcus are on holiday in Merida, Mexico. The weather is almost always good. They are staying at a simple house in the suburban area, but they don't mind the distance because they move around by car. Norma is now the only driver in her family because her partner has undergone a surgery.
