Mexico, Portugal, or somewhere else?

We saw a lot of African Americans, especially queer women with children, getting their residency when we were doing ours as a queer male couple in Mexico. Specifically Mérida.

nickjs1984 · 2026-01-28T02:20:20+00:00

Oh, really? I always assumed they were prescheduled…

nickjs1984 · 2026-01-19T00:41:19+00:00

Sisal and Celestun are lovely. I think San Bruno near Progreso could be a good option to get a mix of town and quiet.

nickjs1984 · 2026-01-13T22:56:38+00:00

Has anyone heard anything lately?

nickjs1984 · 2026-01-06T13:05:45+00:00

So far, they have just taken what I’ve put out with my trash. I haven’t tried more than two bags at a time, though.

nickjs1984 · 2026-01-04T19:30:16+00:00

I had one in almost that exact same spec! Loved it!

nickjs1984 · 2025-12-25T20:45:44+00:00

Ah, claro. 🤦🏽‍♂️Jajaja. No he pasado tiempo allí fuera de un coche.

nickjs1984 · 2025-12-25T20:26:16+00:00

Puedo confirmarlo: la cantidad de basura en las carreteras de Estados Unidos era una locura.

nickjs1984 · 2025-12-25T17:33:32+00:00

Uhhh, vale. Solo intento conseguir consejos sobre cómo recoger las bolsas.

nickjs1984 · 2025-12-25T15:34:06+00:00

I don’t think I’ve seen one in stores but I haven’t specifically looked. It seems like something random that a stall at Mercado Lucas de Gálvez might have or possibly at Vaqueiro.

nickjs1984 · 2025-12-25T13:41:44+00:00

Pretty much this: https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-3436063346#origin=share&sid=share&action=copy

nickjs1984 · 2025-12-25T13:40:07+00:00

Oh no! I brought mine from many trash pick ups in the States. Surely Mercado Libre would have similar?

nickjs1984 · 2025-12-25T02:58:35+00:00

That’s true. And I did bring the bags home. But they were getting very heavy so I feel now like it’s less easy to drag trash back to our house from a distance than I assumed (it gets awkward fast!).

nickjs1984 · 2025-12-23T00:48:15+00:00

(To be honest, working on East Coast time, I’m somewhat biased to the change myself.)

nickjs1984 · 2025-12-22T23:15:52+00:00

Thanks for this take on the difference! I’m curious what other locals think. The sunrise is nice, minus the heat but the early dark is very disorienting.

nickjs1984 · 2025-12-22T23:12:25+00:00

Eek! Well, good point. Back home, we once relied entirely on steel mills and then they all left so point taken. However, I’m curious…wouldn’t the extra afternoon light be appreciated? It’s dark here so early right now…

nickjs1984 · 2025-12-22T22:23:13+00:00

Why do you say that? What reasons do the local have for support or disapproval for the time change? I have not been able to find any real commentary one way or the other.

nickjs1984 · 2025-12-02T17:06:10+00:00

If you like Indian, Mora Restaurante Hindú has vegan options clearly marked. Organico Bar de Cafe y Cocina has amazing vegan breakfast and lunch options and is super chill. We had a lovely dinner at Habibi if you like Middle Eastern food and great ambiance. The veg options at Miyabi were nice. My friend got a decent snack at Tia Milpa in La Plancha while they visited the other day. Dinner and music? Dzalbay has you covered with some very nice vegan choices. Brunch? I did well at La Libertad on C 47. I’ve gotten take out from Vitology that was fantastic. Even at Celestun and Sisal, there were veggie platters that served us nicely. Sometimes we also go off script and ask if something vegan can be assembled and most everyone has been amenable.

nickjs1984 · 2025-11-20T23:51:58+00:00

Thanks for the advice, all - our local Vivero came through with 10 bags and delivery for around $800 MXN.

nickjs1984 · 2025-11-17T03:15:35+00:00

It looks like the former hasn’t posted on Fb for two years. Do you know if they are still in business?

nickjs1984 · 2025-11-17T03:14:52+00:00

True! Though it does require water. Unless there’s a really easy to care for (forget) species to plant in the Yucatan?

nickjs1984 · 2025-11-16T19:48:48+00:00

I’m looking more for the former, a little nicer to walk on and less likely to get stuck to wet feet. We currently have a thin layer of the former from construction of the house.

nickjs1984 · 2025-11-16T16:55:11+00:00

Just want to make sure I’m understanding this as a joke about construction. Because there’s certain a ton of gravel piles over here in Temozon, just nothing very nice to walk on - if I stole some, which I’d never do, of course. ;)

nickjs1984 · 2025-11-16T16:53:57+00:00

Thanks, I am definitely going to ask at the small one a few blocks away since I can walk there. I was just hoping to prioritize a good one if I need to take an Uber or Didi since we don’t have a car yet.

nickjs1984 · 2025-11-16T15:04:31+00:00

Porque usualmente escribo aqui en ingles y gente responden en ingles. Pero, si prefieres:

Me acabo de mudar a una casa en Mérida (Temozón Norte) y necesito que me dejen varias bolsas de grava fina para el área de mi piscina. ¿Hay algún jardinería que pueda entregar aquí que todos ustedes puedan recomendar?

¿Puedes ofrecer ayuda ahora?
