When in Mexico in the summer, you need to find lodging that has a pool, that&#8217;s just the rule and we don&#8217;t support rule-breakers here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_1176-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10899\" width=\"723\" height=\"542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_1176-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_1176-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_1176-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the poolside bar service didn&#8217;t really work (where did that phone actually call??), the pool area was just what we needed after our long days of tourism. It was empty a few times, but mostly there were just 3-4 other guests using it, the benefit of a rather small hotel. I loved attempting to relax in the hammock even though I never trust them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rooms were spread around this courtyard on 2-3 levels, and everything felt really spacious and private. Here&#8217;s my standard hotel bed picture! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0524-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10904\" width=\"727\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0524-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0524-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0524-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 727px) 100vw, 727px\" \/><figcaption>Nice room + bed<br>i love bed<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we were staying at Casa Lucia 3 nights, and when we travel we normally don&#8217;t have that much time at one hotel, I like to make the most of longer stays by unpacking COMPLETELY. Every sock, every extra ziplock bag, everything gets unpacked if I&#8217;m in a place longer than 2 nights. It&#8217;s honestly one of my top travel tips because it brings me some weird sort of peace, like feeling at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0525-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10905\" width=\"670\" height=\"893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0525-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0525-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><figcaption>REAL top travel tip is to use hotel shower caps as shoe coverings.

Well what would be our favorite restaurant in the Yucatan, Distrito Vegano (<em>infra!<\/em>) (I&#8217;ve never been so excited about an <em>infra<\/em> before but I am! it&#8217;s a good one! (it means below\/later in this writing)), was open but it&#8217;s outside the city center and we didn&#8217;t feel like driving any more. So our only real option was the chain restaurant 100% Natural, which I obviously called Mr. Natural. It has easy-for-tourist menus with pictures, English versions, and vegan options clearly marked, and since we were beat (BEAT!) it was a good simple option. The food was whatever but it was exactly what we were after &#8211; quick, easy, no-thinking. I got a bowl of kale soup that was Not Good, but I also got mushroom tacos that were Very Good, so it averaged out to be a fine dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0870-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10906\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0870-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0870-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0870-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption>I miss tacos<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After dinner, we walked through the main square, saw the requisite dancing in the square as one does throughout the Yucatan and as one learned in previous posts, and&#8230;went to church. No but our hotel was on the same block as this cute lil church so we took a picture and crossed ourselves? and went on our merry way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_6279-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10932\" width=\"653\" height=\"870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_6279-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_6279-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 653px) 100vw, 653px\" \/><figcaption>oh look! this is a church!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_6280-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10933\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_6280-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_6280-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_6280-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><figcaption>hail mary full of beans<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our merry way included some stops in other cute lil places, namely cute lil shops, including one where I got THE FUNNIEST coin purse I&#8217;ve EVER seen and will post in my instagram stories for you to enjoy, and one where I found mamey flavored bolis!

What you didn&#8217;t already read about was that, there&#8217;s not really any food out there. Luckily, we brought sufficient snacks (bananas, Justin&#8217;s peanut butter packs (ALWAYS when traveling!), lime nuts, chips\/salty things of all shapes and sizes) to get us through the day, but that&#8217;s a big day, and in this heat, oof, we were pretty hungry. Luckily, we had made a reservation for that evening for dinner at Lo Que Hay, the vegan restaurant inside Merida&#8217;s Hotel MedioMundo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0885-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10907\" width=\"673\" height=\"897\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0885-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0885-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 673px) 100vw, 673px\" \/><figcaption>lo que hay means &#8216;what&#8217;s in it&#8217; i think<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The owners of Lo Que Hay were very helpful and friendly (and fluent in English). I believe one is originally from Lebanon, and so the set menu varies between Lebanese and Mexican food.  The night we booked was Lebanese night, which is fine, but we really were after Mexican food all day err day. If you&#8217;ve been in Mexico for a while and need a break from Mexican food, this would be absolutely perfect because it was delicious, but we were the tiniest bit disappointed to miss an opportunity for MOAR MEXICAN FOOD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0892-826x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10913\" width=\"693\" height=\"859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0892-826x1024.jpg 826w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0892-242x300.jpg 242w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0892-768x952.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It was good though, and it was outside in a lovely setting. For 200 pesos, or $10, we got a nice spread (though not as much food as we expected\/hoped, it was probably a normal amount for normal people). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We started with a mezze plate with hummus, babaghanoush, tabouli made with quinoa, falafel, and pita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0889-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10909\" width=\"690\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0889-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0889-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0889-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><figcaption>I also got a hibiscus juice which I learned issss not my thing<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>All the components were great! The falafel reminded us more of kibbeh, not that it mattered since it was all good. We just like&#8230;wanted more. And we wanted it to be Mexican food. Lol that&#8217;s OUR BAD. It was really good though, truly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next was mjadara, or lentils with basmati rice, plus a purple cabbage and lemon salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0893-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10910\" width=\"698\" height=\"930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0893-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0893-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The fried onions were amazing with the lentils and rice, and like everything else it was really good. Just unexpectedly not Mexican food. Okay okay you get it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dessert was lemon sorbet, which was fine (you know how I feel about sorbet but when it&#8217;s a hot destination like this it&#8217;s fine, I&#8217;m fine) and not pictured because guys it was hot out and it was melting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I definitely recommend going to Lo Que Hay for a lovely dinner, but make sure you are cool with whatever menu they have going on your night because you might not get the tacos your body desperately needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our third day in Merida was a doozy. We decided to enjoy a beach day at Progreso beach, about a half hour from Merida, after we visited the Mundo Maya museo. Progreso is a very normal-life beach &#8211; not really built for tourists (good!) but for locals and people who generally can figure shit out on their own. We can figure shit out on our own and don&#8217;t need luxury or anything, but Progreso still wasn&#8217;t my favorite because&#8230;it was windy. I know you&#8217;re like oh boo hoo the beach was windy? the Mexican beach you got to visit? But guys, it was like, RULL windy. Like glasses and beer bottles (not mine) and silverware and menus blowing off the tables of beachside restaurants and cafes windy. Like Arabian nights sandstorm looking jawn windy. And most importantly, like ohh this is how people get swept out to sea in harsh rip currents windy. We went in the ocean but it was rough, and it was kinda scary. Yeah there are lifeguards but they&#8217;re not like, life <em>guarantors<\/em>. And it was kind of too windy to enjoy ourselves. We tried to swim, we tried to sit at a little cafe table and enjoy horchata, we tried to really do anything but all we could do was fight the wind (with eyes closed). It was too windy to take our phones out and take pictures! This is literally the only photo we took the entire time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_6274-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10925\" width=\"743\" height=\"990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_6274-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/laughfrodisiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_6274-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" \/><figcaption>lolol this is how far from the beach we had to be to safely take our phones out<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So, our day at Progreso was a bust. It might have just been an off day, but I figure if you are going to Mexico for the beaches, you got off the bus long before you reached this point in the Yucatan, so stay in Tulum or whatever, or commit to having a non-beachy holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The saddest part was that we went out here in large part to eat at vegan-friendly restaurant Milk Bar, which has amazing reviews. SO EXCITED! SO WORTH THE WIND! We did not expect that Milk Bar&#8217;s closed day of choice would be Wednesdays. Yup you guessed it, this was a Wednesday. Dammit! We had a heck of a time walking around the little streets trying to find a restaurant with vegan food. We finally find one called La Antigua and the entire staff was so nice in trying to feed us enough, and they definitely did.
