Although the city of Campeche is only a couple of hours from Mérida, it is very rare that people who live in Mérida we take the time to visit. We decided to take a little trip on New Year’s day and were glad we did. It was fun to just walk around the city, which is very well preserved and on the Unesco list of World Heritage cities and being right of the Gulf of Mexico Campeche offers the very best ceviche. I was lazy and didn’t take many pictures that day, but here are a few that I did take.

An architectural detail from one of the many forts originally built to defend the city from pirates, even though it is hundreds of years old I think it looks like a lot of the most modern Mexican architecture.

I’m sure that most anyone who visits the fort takes this picture, but just in case anyone would like to see the view from the top fo the fort…
