Thanksgiving in Merida 2018
If the thought of turkey and gravy with all the trimmings is causing your mouth to water this November, then make sure to get out to one of the Thanksgiving feasts near Merida this year. Of course, you probably won't be eating one of Yucatan's Ocellated Turkeys like the one above, but there are plenty of options for traditional American fare nearby. This is a great opportunity for festivity, fellowship and a full belly, so call ahead and choose the venue that's right for you. Have fun and happy Thanksgiving!
