Adin would wait on us all day long as we basked in the sun or sat under the umbrellas he would bring out to us. He made us little grasshoppers out of a palm branch.
Wal Mart is always a comfort. It is supposed to be about the same anywhere you go. For the most part that was true but they also have some VERY different things I have never seen around here!! This bread was HUGE and then we gathered that you must cut off a chunk and buy it. It was just sitting right on a table for everyone to touch.
Octopus anyone? The exchange rate was about 12:1 so for under $5 you could own one of these fellows!
Kate and David beside...well...something...
Besides the rather large chap wandering through, this was the gorgeous view from the beach-side restaurant.
The boys ventured out to scuba dive while the ladies stayed on the beach for another day of relaxation. They had a great time and according to Dad, if you start in Cozumel, you are starting at the top! The snorkeling was AWESOME so being down there had to be spectacular!
Jon took us to all kinds of sketchy restaurants where the locals eat. At this place, you got a 1/4 of a chicken with all the fixings and some lime/pepper sauce that no one in their right mind would have touched...we, of course, had to try it and it was REALLY good!! No one got sick all week either!
This restaurant was a meat shop with some tables out front by the road. It was possibly the best food I have ever eaten! 
Yummy chorizo with queso!!
Adin, our faithful pool boy
Dad paid for a mariachi band. Look how into it he was! They were really good and it was fun to stand in the street and listen!
Unfortunately, these glasses didn't make the cut! But they did end up with some nice "fauxkleys".
Thank you Dad and Mom for spending your 35th anniversary by taking us on vacation!! I can't wait til your 40th! :)
Looks like a FANTASTIC trip!!!!! But I'm glad you're back! My days just weren't complete without a chat or 2 with you!
