March 11 - The last day...

Wow! I can't believe the trip is almost over! Today we had to wake up at 5am in order to be on the bus at 6am and back in Merida for a 9am meeting with the Economic Development group, Secretaria de Fomento Economico.



We had a great meeting and learned a lot about the Yucatan. For the last 3 years the Yucatan has had the lowest violence rate in all of Mexico as well as, the best education level in the South of Mexico. We then got back on the bus and traveled 30 minutes to the Port of Progreso.



The Port of Progreso is the main cargo port in SE Mexico, as well as the longest port in the world, measuring 10 Kilometers long. It provides Mexico with a direct connection to the U.S. 5 days a week. There are several different terminals in the port; including: a containers terminal, cruise ship terminal, agricultural bulk terminal, general cargo terminal and a fuel terminal.



As the afternoon comes to an end we head out to our Farewell Dinner at the Hacienda Teya. The dinner was amazing with lots of laughter and tons of food. Outside the dinning room there was an open area where a male and female peacock resided...they were absolutely beautiful.



We concluded the evening with farewell drinks on the roof of our hotel. It was a great way to end our adventure!
