Fiesta time! The whole Canul Family, originally uploaded by sanuzbord.

Well as all things must end, our time with the Canul family must too. We are leaving tomorrow for Izamal. We have spent longer than we thought we would with the Canuls and have had a great time. We tried to tell them we were going to leave 4 days ago and they wouldn´t let us. The kept giving us reasons to stay and obviously we were enjoying our time here so we complied with their wishes. We eventually gave them a reason for our leaving that they accepted and they sadly agreed with our reasoning. After all of their questions, including, why do you want to go?, where are you going to next? where are you going to spend more time than here? we finally told them, "Hay un buen tiempo para todos"-or - "There is a good time for everything." We will be sad to see the Canul family house disappear as we roll down the street but our hearts are filled with Yucatecan love and our bellies with great Yucatecan food, Flor and Gladys style. We can only hope that experiences as fabulous and rich as this await us down the road.

As Ken reminded us before we left, "A picture is worth 1,000 words," so we have uploaded a few to tell the story of our time in Merida and Tixkokob, so once again, here is the link to the flickr account.
