While the rest of the world is talking about how unsafe it is in Mexico those of us living here continue on as normal, no fear, no more precautions than back in the US. Yes, there are problems here, name me a country without any........... As I just read on another blog, it would be the same as telling people not to shop at a grocery store because one bad piece of fruit must surely mean that all the other stock is spoiled too!

So despite being scared to death LOL, 8 of us ventured into Merida the other night for dinner and to spend the night. We went to Trotters, absolutely one of our favorite places. Here is a picture of the inside dining area:

The bar which offers 2 for 1 drinks from 6pm to 9 pm. Now THATS scarey!

The kitchen area


And yet another shot:Sean enjoying some delicious oysters rockefeller, the were sooo good, we ordered 2 dozen.

Jack thought they were pretty good too!

The table got really quiet as we were all eating.


We also had filet mignon, penne pasta with chicken, mac and cheese, broccoli and cheese and much more. Adult beverages included mojitos, bottles of wine, Johnny Walker and beer. Now you know why we were too scared to drive back to the beach!

There are 4 restaurants all owened by the same family, Trotters, Bryans, La Trato and Panchos. When you visit Merida, you really need to visit one of these places. Divine food!

And now the final thing I am afraid of........coconuts falling off the palm trees in my front yard!

Balmy breezes and cold drinks coming at you from Chelem!
