Cozumel

Cozumel, Mexico. The land of blue skies, white sand, and BAD drinking water!

Thank goodness we had a rail on the window or we would have just rolled over and down nine stories in the middle of the night.

CHEESE!

Although the hotel didn't have a "beach" the water was beautiful.

Who needs toys when you have a cousin and an empty cabinet.

Katie's first beach trip was not as photogenic as I had hoped. The air was hot, the sand was hot, and the water was rough.

X-carte was a beautiful place . . once we got there. We had to WAIT an hour for a ferry, then we had a one hour ferry ride across to the main land, and a 45 min bus (that's right as in public transportation) ride just to get there.

There was a lot of walking throughout the park/zoo. Stroller?...ha! Daddy's such a sucker.

Katie loved the aquarium

Mayan Ruins

The show was fabulous but once Katie tumbled head over heals onto the people in front of us and came up with a HUGE goose egg on the back of her head, it was time to call a taxi.

As you can see, the first boat trip was very calming. We went snorkeling and to a private beach.

Although the private beach was covered with horseflies, Katie did learn to love the sand. The surf was much calmer here.

Our second boat trip was a success. We caught fish! The only problem was we caught both fish within the first 45 min and then nothing for the next 5 hours! Meanwhile, everyone was getting sea sick.

There were two platters of fish. . . and that was only part of the larger fish! It feed all 11 of us for two nights.

It's the last night and we survived the week. . . time to celebrate!

Ahhh. . .
