Our Vacay, Part Deux
Posted in General Ramblings
One of our ports of call was Cozumel, Mexico. We had snorkeled there before and were looking forward to doing it again. (Okay, for some odd reason that sounds kinda bad, huh?... it must be a post-midnight craziness that is taking over my brain...hehe). Since it was very very very windy, we opted to rent a jeep and drive around the island instead.
There is really not much to the island of Cozumel. If you drive it, you only need to do it once. In your entire life. But the one time that you do drive it, please remember to put on sunscreen. If not, you will have this odd sunburn on the top half of your face. Or if you are a crazy shirtless man, you will have a hilarious souvenir of a seatbelt tan-line to show the kids when you get home! Too bad I don't have a picture of that.
We did make two stops on our whirlwind tour of the 28 mile wide and 10 mile long island. First stop, the Mayan ruins of San Gervasio. I'm such a party pooper. I really didn't like it there. It just couldn't compete with our visits to Tulum and Chichen-Itza on our honeymoon back in the old days! But we made the best of it and explored.
We saw lots of iguanas. Do you see it?
I also had my husband for entertainment. He always makes me laugh.
After passing many an iguana, we loaded up and kept on driving. We found this really neat rock outcropping with wicked waves.
I couldn't resist this dorky picture of us. See how WINDY it is?! (Aren't you impressed with the italics in that word? Pretty clever, huh? I know you're impressed.) That's also the face you make when you're eating hair and trying to not fall to your death. Right past that edge is a 150 foot drop with the waves hammering against it. Okay, I lied. It's really only a 15 foot drop. But the waves, they really were the kind that would totally crack your skull!
(I'm totally resisting the gone with the wind jokes here. You can thank me later.)
So we left, returned the jeep and got back on the boat ship. (They hate it when you call it a boat.)

The ocean is beautiful! The iguanas would have freaked me out, for sure!

I'm amazed by the colors!!! The blue sky when he's looking up, and then all the contrasting blues in the ocean and sky, along with the white....It's gorgeous!!!

I love a good I-Spy book and for some reason, finding the iguana in that picture just gave me a wonderful sense of satisfaction. Thanks. I'm sure you did that just for ME and your 10 & Under fans! ha!
So glad you all didn't fall to your death. Tony and I joke that we're not scared of heights. It's edges that we're afraid of!

Great pics. I'm not big on iguannas. Ewwww. I really like the picture of the "THINKER". That one is funny. Did you love the cruise? I have always wanted to go on one. Any suggestions?
Hugs,
Christy

Posted by stillgrowing
Why were you up past midnight posting???????
I was kinda bummed, on first perusing your picture of the rocks, that I couldn't see any iguanas.....but I looked again and saw it, and now I don't feel so gauche! I'm sure everyone else found the iguana right away.....my brain in so tired and I'm so done that I ran out of steam for iguana spotting.....sorry!
You guys are cute together, you know that??
Glad you had a fun trip!
LOVE

I love that picture with the waves! It looks awesome, even with the hair-eating face (don't you just love it when that happens?? Men just don't understand!) I also love the way you tell the story, I feel like I was there with you :-)
Glad to have you back, girl!
(oh and sorry for being so late to catch up on all the posts... craziness with DH home, but he starts work on Monday!)
