      This is an outright lie. All you have to do is Google the topic and can easily learn from Dec 2023 that mass shootings do happen are a major issue in the presidential election.

    I think it's a very Hawaiian thing to put the emphasis on the 2nd to last syllable, but in this case, I think it's MER- ida ( like a-MER-ica)... not sure... that's my hunch... other than that, you're brilliant as always. But honestly do you tire of the travel??? Like Merida, how long were you there? I used to have the zest to go go go, but sorry to say I'm now a slow traveler at best. Thanks for bringing the world to us.

    Mexico is idiotic with their visa laws ! -- Then there is the exchange rate which is much less favorable to the USD. -- 3 years in the Philippines and 1 year in Cambodia w/o ever having to leave + they speak English - unlike most Mexicans !!! Perhaps 40% below US cost of living average in Merida - whereas Siem Reap & much of the Philippines are 70% cheaper. Siem Reap is a 'much more' beautiful city and overall better destination. Quite a lot like each other in weather. - - - Spanish is not my thing or many other Americans 'thing' - and - ENGLISH is not seemingly appreciated like in those other two countries in S E Asia ? 🤔 Go where you are treated best ?
