Funny how it worked out...I spent four days in Mérida, Yucatán, flew back to San Antonio and went back to work for a week, and then I found myself boarding a cruise ship bound for the peninsula I just flew away from. This was pure coincidence, of course; all my friends and I settled on a cruise leaving on a specific date and it just happened to be a week after the Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon in Mérida.

My last full day in Mérida was mostly devoted to the Mayan ruins at Uxmal. These ruins are a a little more than an hour's drive south of the city, but thankfully I'd found a ride out there.

Saturday was a pretty eventful day which was mostly taken up by the Gran Museo del Mundo Maya, dedicated to the civilization that once controlled the Yucatán peninsula, followed by the reason why I was in Mérida when I was--the Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon.

Ever since my first expedition into Mexico in 2015 I had wanted to go somewhere, anywhere, in that country for a few days unconnected to a cruise. Mexico City was at the top of my list, but I would've gladly gone to any big city outside of the cartel states. The international Rock 'n Roll Marathon series had a few events in Mexico, and their half-marathon in Mérida, Yucatán, scheduled for November 4, 2017 worked out great as it was at a time when I didn't have much else lined up.
