Linda,

My family just returned from Progresso on the Carnival Pride.We did not notice any flies at all except in the fish-meat market we accidently wandered into.

The people were quite friendly -there are some shops and a little market area where the ships shuttle leave you off. There is a decent beach there as well but after the beautiful water in Cozumel we were content to just shop here. There is a Corona store in town where you can buy Coronas and a neclace to hold the bottle around your neck for $2US.There is also a shop that sells BEAUTIFUL Mexican ceramic sinks for 50-75$US.

We took the tour bus into Merida which is about an hour away-I was not thrilled with the City .Not everyone here speaks English or takes$US.I also found the people here much more aggressive than in Progresso itself. I brought my bus passes home-if you would like them I can send them to you they do not have a date on them.

Overall I would have prefered another day in Cozumel but it was interesting to see Progresso.

Have a great trip Wendy
