Example text
To set a stern example and to avenge the January atrocities, a firing squad shot young Ay against the wall of Valladolid’s Santa Ana chapel on July 26, 1847. His death was the catalyst that ignited the Caste War – so called because of the complex racial levels, or “castes,” that the Spanish had developed to differentiate the mixed bloodline of the Mexican people. It was an uprising of such magnitude and violence that soon vengeful Maya armies drove the remaining white citizenry behind the thick walls of Campeche and barricades in the narrow streets of Mérida.
Spanish and French grunts, yellowjacks, queen triggerfish, blue tangs, banded butterfish, damselfish, red snappers, sergeant majors, angelfish and spotted drums are just a few of the colorful, edible inhabitants.

Mexican laws severely restrict the harvesting of sea turtles, so if it’s ever on a menu, please don’t order it. Shellfish Walk the beaches of Campeche, Yucatán and Quintana Roo and you’ll see plenty of sea shells by the seashore. Conch, of course, is the largest (sometimes as big as two feet) and one of the most beautiful.
