Theresa, a US expatriate in Merida, was at the fair the other day, and came back with a scoop–at least to me. She posted the first picture of the “giant” model of El Castillo which is the centerpiece of the Xmatkuil Fair.

Detail of photo of fair, by Theresa.

Theresa posted her photo and description of the fair at her blog, “¿What do I do all day? (One woman’s life and retirement in Mérida, Yucatán, México).”

She writes about her life and experiences in Yucatan. The blog is outgrowth of her observations that she regularly posts at Merida Insider, the best forum for folks who live or are moving to Yucatan. On her own blog, Theresa gets to wax poetic about whatever is on her mind, and it almost always has to do with the perspective of a non-Mexican making a go of it in Yucatan. Give it a shot!
