This is Tamara and John. Tammy is eight. At this place we are at their private beach. Unless you know someone who owns property here, the public will never see these beaches. The road is guarded by the police and tourist and locals are not allowed in. You HAVE to show your title to the property to get in, and have a special card from the mayors office. (or something like that, I know the card thing is new, John did not have one, but a call to the mayor changed that, he sent a police car down to let the police man on duty know John had permission to go in) I was impressed by John.
This is John and Angelica Flynn. They are a cute couple are they not!! OK, you can not tell yet cause of the sunglasses, hold on a minute and I will take care of that....NEXT PICTURE!!!
OK, the sun glasses stayed on, but now you can get a better gander at them. That is Tammy in the towel, John, Juan Diego and Angelica. Juan Diego is an active six year old and to get him to sit for a minute for a picture was a great fleet for John. Juan was busy digging a HUGH hole in the sand.
This is sunset over where John and Angelica are building their new house. This is where Chuck and I stayed. Beautiful is it not.
This is a sunset on another day. Gosh, it is so pretty.
This is the entrance to a place called Coconuts. It is a bar and grill on the highest point on the island. There is bra's, panties and tee-shirts all over the place from parting people. The place is very pretty. It is also a place where their was a Geo Cache. (Eat you heart out Val and Dwight)
This is a picture of Coconuts (the palapa) from the beach side. Only hill in Cozumel.
This is another restaurant at the East side of the island. Just wanted to show you all a pretty picture.
Now, only in Mexico could you call a place Senor Iguana's and offer FREE PARKING. boy oh boy, that would make me run there!!! (the free parking that is) Chuck and I did a Geo Cache there and then had a couple of Grouper tacos. Not bad, not bad. Salsa was way to hot for a normal person (yeah, chuck thought it was great, even had the waiter bring him another bowl of it) and the tacos were a bit greasy, but not bad at all. Oh, those people up there, they were from the Cruise ship. They had hired a Taxi to take them around and show them the island. That Taxi driver will get a HUGE tip as he was making sure they were going to all the places that do not serve a weak drink. They were pretty happy when we met them. This was a nine in the morning. Yeah, it's five o'clock somewhere!!
One needs a big bottle of beer to make an Iguana drink and still stand!!!
Hay, look!!! That is our house. Notice the red Volkswagen. We went to a thing where they try and sell you a vacation package. You get a free meal and a free car. So we got both. Saved our diesel for a couple of days and helped a friend get the money for bringing in a pigeon...I mean perspective client.
Now this is a really cool stature they are building on the main street of Cozumel. Up closer is is so detailed. Lots of fish, turtles, sea life, It is just an beautiful piece. John and Angelica should put one at the entrance of there house. (I want the rest of you to know that as soon as John sees this last sentence, he is going to roll his eyes and say NO WAY Dee Dee!!)
Double eagles at the entrance of the ferries.
This is a working light house. Cozumel now has three of them.
The road into Temascal Sweat Lodge. Let me tell you that this is NOT as bad as we walked in to get there. Yes, there was a Geo Cache down there. We walked in mud and water up to our knees in places. I thought chuck was joking when he told me to be on the look out for a crock, but afterwards when we were talking to John, I learned he had be serious!!! I can tell you that I was not a happy camper during this mud hike. Pancho was not either when we got home cause he got a bath. He could of killed chuck for that!!
Temascal Sweat Lodge. This is the only operating spiritual & cleansing spa on the island. It was not open when we were there. They only open when the tourist ships are in.
So this is a fast tour of Cozumel. Maybe I can get chuck to post a picture of Pancho on a boogie board in the water with me. That was fun. I think Pancho even liked it.
We left Cozumel this morning and are outside of a town called something with a V. I (Valladolid) would have to get the map to spell it, and since that is in the truck, and it is dark out, there are flying bitters out there, that is NOT going to happen....me going out to get the map that is. Just take my word for it, we are not in Cozumel. We went to the town and took pictures of an old church, then went out to dinner at the restaurant here. Very good food and at a reasonable price. ($6.00 per plate, I had Mayan Chicken and Chuck had roast pork with garlic)
Tomorrow we are going to a ruin (Ekbalam), then the next day, we are going to Chichén-Itza. Yeah, I know, I need my map. Oh well, you all will have to wait a day for that to happen. Better yet, don't hold your breath and I will give you all pictures of where we are AND the correct spellings on our next post. See, I try to please you all!!!
Until then, take care of the ones you love and remember to tell your family and friends how special they are to you. You never know what will happen 20 minutes down the road...
So until then, to our friends and family, we love ya all!!! To our New friends, we almost love you all .... (ha ha ha....I am such a shit!!)
