Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico City has twenty millions habitants and, despite of the city's size, many attractive areas can be toured on foot, affording pleasant and rewarding moments:
colorful markets emerge from the gray urban backdrop, and ethereal
monuments and stately mansions loom above street corner taco stands
and dirty streets. Be prepared for a city that has brought together
native Indian hustle and bustle and European nostalgia, garnished
with highly spiced local dishes, mariachis, and a pulsating tropical
beat.

Merida, Mexico
Being centrally located, Merida is a practical hub to explore all of the splendors of the Yucatan Peninsula. Merida depicts much of the splendor of Colonial Mexico. The Spanish Conquistador Francisco de Montejo founded Merida in 1542 on the site of a former Mayan city he destroyed. Cut off from the rest of Mexico for many years because of the difficulty in communicating by train and highway, the Yucatecans became somewhat independent, having more contact with European and US Gulf Coast cities and life-styles.
Splendid regional dishes and traditional music and dances local to this region are found in restaurants, theatres and shops housed in palatial mansions along Paseo de Montejo - a boulevard fashioned after Paris' Champs Elysée.
