Xmatkuil…Yucatan’s State Fair
I got up early this morning and headed outside of the city limits to Merida’s yearly state fair, Xmatkuil. I love going to the state fair here in the Yucatan, it reminds me of the fairs when I was young. It is like stepping back in time. I hope you will enjoy these photos as much as I did taking them for you. The different smell, taste. The candied pecans were out of this world. I love the Mexican pottery and seem to find away to buy another pot each year for my kitchen. If you have never cooked in a clay pot, you are missing out. The cows and bulls are one of the main highlight of the fair each year. Sometimes a bull or cow is all that a family may own, and to be able to have it shown in the state fair is a really big deal. But what I want you to notice the most is the colors…it is a feast for your eyes…colors everywhere. In the candy, the clothes and hand made crafts. Mexico is a country of bright colors and no place better to see that than at the state fair.
CLIMBING TREES
That moment of excitement Blood rushes through your body Muscle tense Breathing in deep anticipation Hand tired and sore Dirt ground deep into your pores Scratches and cuts Sweat beading on your forehead Frightened and afraid Praying no one will see Holding on Intense excitement A world seen far away A time to conquer a new territory Peers look in unbelief To be free The one moment All young boy dream of The passage of youth Climbing trees.
ALONE…
Frighten, alone and sadden We pass from one moment to the next Longing for understanding Hoping for acceptance Hidden deep within the child A voice yearning to be heard Look at me, I am here Do you not see me? Alone even in a crowd Locked deep within a dark prison We wait for that moment to escape Does anyone care? For a child the world is a vast void Not knowing what lies ahead Even their own backyard A jungle to navigate. Like that child we too Can be lost in our own world With just a few kind words The world is alive again. Come join our moment in time Let us make the darkness vanish A kind word, a smile Reach out your hand….

THIS WAS COPIED RIGHT FROM THE BOOK…
This is not to say that there are no American real estate companies in Mérida that I would recommend, or who have demonstrated their professionalism and integrity. Jim Mann of Mérida Yucatán Properties is one agent whose praise many people continue to sing. (For the sake of full disclosure, Jim Mann was not the agent who sold us our Bed & Breakfast, and neither I nor my partner have bought or sold real estate properties through Mérida Yucatán Properties.) Of the real estate agencies in Mérida founded and run by Americans, Mérida Yucatán Properties is the one that, to my knowledge, has the highest customer satisfaction, and it is the one that has tried to “rationalize” the market by pointing out that in 2011, the U.S. dollar continues to fluctuate against the Mexican peso in an unpredictable way, and that the market in Mérida is still recovering from the Global Recession. But remember, like Jim Mann there are scores of reputable, honest and ethical realtors in Mérida, American and Yucatecan alike, who will look out for you and your interests.
THE PAPERMAN by Jim Mann
On my way to the gym each morning, I pass my paperman. He is always there, rain or shine. This is dedicated to him for all the smiles over time.
THE PAPER MAN
Eyes that stir ahead
A smile lost to time
Weather worn hands
Long past his age.
Tattered shirt
Jeans solid with time
Sandals taped together
So not to fall off.
But everyday he is there
He stands like a soldier
Waiting his turn
Always eager to please.
I see him everyday in my travels
Wondering what his life has held
If he has seen a happy day
And known the meaning of joy.
But for today I will smile
He will smile back
Handing off my morning paper
In that moment our lives touch.
JUST LIKE THE PAPERMAN,
WE ARE ALWAYS HERE AT MERIDA YUCATAN PROPERTIES
