Cozumel ... or Bust !!

WOW ---- It sure does seem like it took a REALLY long time to get here .... seems like it was at least a month ...

Anyway ---- when we woke up this morning, we were just minutes away from our port of call, COZUMEL !! There was the nicest welcoming committee that greeted us upon our arrival .....

I have been here a couple of times before so I had prepared the group for the really HOT weather we would experience. In Spanish, that would be CALIENTE weather. See, my studying last night really paid off !!!

Anyway, Mother decided to stay on the boat. Something about trying to stay cool, etc. etc. .... but, I secretly think she was planning a rendevous with the cute little shiny thing that takes her nickels, but I didn't make a big deal about it .... after all, we are all on vacation, so ... whatever floats her boat.

BUT, David, Trey and I all went ashore for a FABULOUS afternoon of Mexican Folk Music, shopping and experiencing Mexican cuisine at an authentic Mexican food restaurant.

After David and Trey hitched a ride in the "Senior Frog" mobile, we proceeded to begin our search of the "best Mexican cuisine" in Cozumel.

We were not disappointed. We found a out of the way little place called "Toro's Place - 2 Bueno 2 Be True". For those of you that do not speak Spanish as well as I do -- that means 2 GOOD 2 Be True.

It was a great place -- and the kitchen was wide open for inspection ..... no chihuahua being served up here ......... although, we did opt for cans of coke - rather than tap water ......... I'm just sayin' .....

These pictures were taken right after lunch from the balcony of the restaurant which overlooked the main city street right by the ocean.

After a long hot day of touring the city, we decided to head back to the ship .... stopping of course to snap a few photos here and there. Afterall, you never know, in a month or so, two hurricanes might threaten the city ..... and we would hate to have missed getting pictures of how it was before.

Now ..... I could bore you with more details about the rest of the afternoon .... leaving Cozumel, dragging Mother from the "game" room, etc., etc. ..... but I would much prefer just to show you the highlight of our evening .....

Ladies and gentlemen: PRESENTING "WARM CHOCOLATE MELTING CAKE" !!!

So -- after that, I must say good evening. My stomach is full and I must go lay down now ...... too much of a good thing often requires a nap immediately afterwards .....

Nite Nite .... Tomorrow is another full day at sea.

PS -- I sure do miss Mr. Walker !!!
