We spent a week on the beautiful and relaxing island of Cozumel, Mexico. It was everything you imagine a relaxing island to be. We spend most of our time on the west side of the island which is where our hotel was. The water was very calm since on the other side of the water is the mainland of Mexico. But the day before we left we rented a jeep and drove around to the other side. It was breathtakingly beautiful! The water was such a bright color and the waves were huge. There are only about 3 buildings on that side of the island and no electricity. They say they can't have anything over there because it is too dangerous and the storms are intense. But it was awesome. I would have slept on the beach on the east side if I they would let me.
I love this sign. When you walked by people's little stands they would yell things like, "Hey big spender! Prices better than Walmart!" or, "Cheaper than K-Mart!" It was hilarious that they knew to say that!
Cozumel- east side
One of Jimmy's favorite Mexican treats!
Snorkeling was so fun! It took a second to get used to it and then it was just amazing to be right there with the little fishies!
There were several different places to eat at our hotel. Our favorite was eating at these little tables on the sand. Jimmy got his fill of mojitos and we LOVED the guacamaya! I could eat a plate of it right now!
We thought it would be a good idea to go out on one of those little sailing, rafty things into the middle of the ocean when neither one of us had ever driven one before. They're really easy to get out into the middle of the ocean, but really hard to get back. We lived through it though and we're real sailors now!
Beautiful! The resort we stayed at was out of a magazine!
On Wednesday we took the ferry over to Playa del Carmen so we could go on a day trip to Chichen Itza. It was truly amazing. We don't know any of the facts or history behind anything though, since we ditched our tour group the first chance we got. We just COULD NOT sit through all those long explanations! Plus they don't let you climb on anything cool.
