June 20, 2019 Meeting of West Bay Rotary

20 June 2019

 

Buckets on the Table: Back Pack Program

 

Speaker of the Day: Laura Evans, Merida in Yucatan

 

A lot of history, since 1542, one of the oldest cities filled with amazing architecture. At the end of the 1800’s, there was great prosperity that allowed the building of mansions and streets, introduced beautiful tiles into homes and every neighborhood has a church. Most homes contain courtyard gardens hidden from the public. The City started one of the first higher institutes of education in the Americas. The city also contains museums of folk art, outdoor markets and an English Library. Merida seems very safe even though the city is a population of around 1 million souls. There were trees, flowers, music, birds, colorful buildings and many other visually stimulating experiences. Eat Drink and Be Merry, for Tomorrow you may Die!
