COZUMEL


















At the beginning of Jan. Roy and I had the opportunity to go down to Mexico for a week. Roy's boss, who has become an avid scuba diver and organized this trip for those who wanted to go. Roy of course being a Florida boy jumped at the chance to get back into the ocean.





Some of the highlights of the trip of course were the scuba diving. I being a person terrified of hieghts in all is varieties could not be persuaded. Despite this fact, I did venture a try at parasailing. Surprisingly it was very quiet and peaceful, and view is spectacular from 300 ft up.
Our resort was beautiful as well with its private beach and all you can drink pina coladas and strawberry dacquiris, virgin of course. We may have indirectly consumed some residual achohol left in the blender though.
We also rented a jeep for a day and spent an hour driving around the island checking out the mayan ruins and downtown cozumel.







Some valuable lessons were learned on our self guided tour.

1. The traffic rules are....there are no rules....your on your own

2. Single lane roads are really two lane roads and bike lanes all in one.

3. Speed bumps are just as bad if you go over them at 50 MPH.

4. Toppe means speed bump in spanish

5. Toppe still means speed bump in spanish

6. scooter capacity is only limited to your imagination.

For not being a summer girl I could definetly get use to that setting.
