   Good morning, Vagabonds. Today is my last full day here. Yesterday was “Merida en Domingo” when the zocalo is filled with little stands where entrepeneurs sell a great variety of things, mostly items that tourists like.

   I was sitting on a bench in the zocalo, eating my favorite Merida en Domingo treat: a fried banana with cream, when someone I didn’t know came running up to me. I realized he was speaking in Turkish (I was wearing my tee shirt with the Azerbaijan flag on it and had handwritten something supporting my Turkish friends’ futball [soccer] team). It turned out he was one of the few Turks living in Merida and was excited to see someone with Turkish ties. I told him there was another Turk who owned a very successful Yucatecan restaurant (remember the photos I sent by email of the foods from that restaurant?).

   We spent the entire time speaking in Turkish, I’m glad I hadn’t forgotten the language. When he introduced me to his Yucatecan wife, I had a hard time re-adjusting back to Spanish

   Good Morning, Everyone,
   

   
   21 degrees right now……got down to 18 during the night. And, it’s supposed to get to the high 30’s during the day.
   

   
   dkram, I was trying to figure out what “NEK” means in your comments. I figure it has something to do with New England, but the “K” part……??????
   

   
   Wow……David, the countdown is really getting better!

   Good morning, Vagabonds.
   

   
   Shirtsleeve weather around here (well, long sleeves anyway). 41 on it’s way to 66.
   

   
   My super-Patriot-fan son was very disappointed yesterday. Me? I’m a fan of a good game and the second half turned into more of a blowout. Too bad. Looking forward to the Super Bowl with the Harbaugh brothers coaching the two teams.

   Been in the 70s here the last few days, after a long cold snap. On 1/8 the temp dropped to 17 in the wee small morning hours.
   The seven day forecast calls for mid to high 70s for now.

   My guys are in the Super Bowl for the sixth time, and I expect them to win. First time since ’98. They won the other five. so why change a good trend? GO NINERS!!

    To answer you question NEK stands for the NorthEast Kingdom of Vermont one of the least developed parts of the state. Orleans, Essex and Caledonia countys.

    Hope I have been helpful, and hope you have a delightful day.

    I watched yesterday’s official swearing in.
    Today’s is just an incredibly crowded party, and I don’t like crowds.

    @JanCinLV

    I agree with you about the game yesterday. The Pats were outplayed in the second half. The beter team won.

    @SWEETBILL

    The Falcons had a great season and I think it might be fair to say, that given the two games yesterday, they ended the season in “third place”…a team to be proud of.
    I wonder if the Dolphins will ever make it back to the Superbowl in my lifetime…? In the meantime, we have our memories of the perfect season.
