		<description>What a sad story. I hate the way the poor rooster had to live in a dumpster. So many poultry factories that kill meat birds to stock grocery store freezers are incredibly cruel to these animals. The poor chickens never get to see daylight. There's got to be a more humane way for providing meat to people.</description>

		<description>Doug,

Camping Yaax Che sounds just like what we are looking for. My wife and I have traveled fairly extensively in Yucatan, and usually have very good luck camping or staying at inexpensive Mexican hotels, and we particularly enjoy eating what the locals eat. You don't mention where Camping Yaax Che is located, nor their rates. I also wanted to know if the rates included the meals.  I can't seem to find that info on the web. Yes, I could email them, but my Spanish is very rudimentary. Or, perhaps you know if they speak or read and write English? 
Thanks very much. Good info.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the suggestion, Jack.

I've long since been to Merida, and back.  I did find quite a few interesting abandoned factories of various vintages, and a couple of working ones too.

I am a bit behind on writing about it though!

Thanks for to book suggestion.  I'll see if I can get a hold of that.</description>

		<description>If you are really interested in henequen and it's history, I suggest that you start in Merida, Yucatan and hit the surrounding towns to the north and east. There is also a small book entitled "Haciendas Henequeneras de Yucatan" -Imagines de la Historia. This is a wonderful book describing the beginnings and the end of rope making in Yucatan.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I recently spent two weeks at the Casda Álvarez and can vouch for it being a wonderful place to stay.  In addition to hospitable hosts Enrique Álvarez and his sister Miriam, and their assistant Adrián and Kitty, the house mascot, the Casa Álvarez is surrounded by a variety of resources, including the ISSTEY Super Market, barbers and beauticians, the Danubio Cleaners and Laundry, a doctor and dentist, econimical restuarants such as El Cubano, and Internet cafés.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Casa Álvarez does not provide breakfast, but has a fully equipped kitchen, three patios and a children´s wading pool, and nearby pasrking is available for 50 pesos per day, and 28 cable television stations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What I did find to be disagreeable were American, French and Czeck tourists haggling in very condescending manners over prices that are already more than reasonable..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is senior citizen, children and gay friendly and within close walking distance of the main plaza and numerous other plazas where frequent cultural events are held.&lt;/p&gt;
