Progreso, Beach Time Estilo Mexicano

After Celestun, we headed out to Progreso beach on the Gulf for a little R & R in the sun.

Here we saw a double rainbow on our way out.  Good omen!

This pier is the longest pier in the world.  It goes out to a port that receives cargo and cruise ships from Texas and Alabama.   The water here is extremely shallow, thus necessitating such a long pier.

 Here's Progreso from the water.  This beach was very, very Mexican.  It was a great way to wind down our vacation.

After swimming and enjoying the afternoon, we went for a walk as the sun started to set.  Gracias por el bienvenido!!
Fishing boats tied up for the night near the fishing pier.

 Cheers!

After sunset, as the sky turned colors, we got some pretty amazing photos.  Here are palapas and the pier by twlight.

Horizon on fire...

 The last colors of the evening...

 After our fun afternoon on the beach, we went back to Merida for dinner at an Irish Pub..then on a whim, we hired a horse and carriage for a midnight tour of Merida.  It was really fun!  We didn't have a camera, so no pics, just good memories!  Thanks B, for everything, this was a super fun weekend away from the DF!
