An Apartment

I have today received confirmation of my rental of an apartment on the edge of downtown Merida, that I will move into on October 1.

The apartment is two stories, one bedroom, fully furnished (even an iron, ironing board, and microwave, conveniences I have long lived without), air conditioning and adjoining private terrace. The rent is 3,000 pesos per month, about $277. at today’s exchange rate.

Upon my arrival and after settling into the apartment I will go shopping for a bicycle, which I will use for transportation around Merida. For exploring further afield I will rely on public transportation.

I will post pictures of my Merida digs as soon as I arrive.
