International Women's Club of Merida

I am a member of the International Women's Club of Merida.  

Have been since I got here in 2006.  

It's a fabulous group of women doing good things, for each other and the community.   I don't attend as many events as I used to but I remain a member - because of all the good they do!

Arturo Novelo of Real Life in Merida recently produced a video about the Women's Club.

If you are here in Merida, whether full time or part time, you really should join, not just for all the great women and resources, but to become involved in community affairs; and to help others!

Real Life in Mérida!

There's a new kid in town, and he's invited me to play in his sandbox.

Arturo is a Yucatecan, that spent a lot of years in the USofA, and then returned to his home neighborhood of Santiago in Mérida, Yúcatan, México.


His newest venture, Real Life in Mérida, Is a photo, video, blog, and personal story webpage about, yes, you guessed it, Mérida. His intent is to tell about Mérida from his Yucatecan point of view.


What he asked me to do was to write about my everyday experiences, as an extranjera, to help bring awareness of my life in this city and also to open up a new consciousness in people.

So check it out, let Arturo know hat you think, make suggestions, send him your ideas!

Here's a great link to a story about Arturo and his Real Life in Mérida adventure
