Izamal is a small Spanish Colonial town. In the early 1990’s the Pope came and visited this town to ask for forgiveness for the past transgressions of the Catholic Church here in Mexico. In preparation for that visit the whole town was painted ocher yellow. It is now known as the yellow town. While we where there we were treated to an impromptu concert at the convent put on by a visiting group of Spanish youth.
This is the restaurant where we ate lunch.

You can take a horse and buggy ride around the town.
