A long morning drive up the edge of the Bay of Mexico to Campeche.

The first Fort Santa Francisco was closed :-), so it was on to San Miguel

Fortress had an interesting Mayan collection, including the Mayan equivalent of Rosetta stone – but no photo – so here’s a seat that’s a bit similar, and a skull showing the skull deformation the practiced in the name of beauty

Campeche is an interesting Colonial walled town, most of the buildings survive. Late afternoon stroll round the town.
