Day 3, Mexico

Saturday morning when we awoke, we were in Cozumel, Mexico!! It was actually drizzling when we were pulling into the port, but it cleared up and was gorgeous (and HOT) before we even left the ship. We signed up for a shore excursion, a beach deluxe day. It included a ride on a chartered bus (with other people from our cruise) to a beach resort that had all you could eat & drink, a pool, beach chairs and umbrellas, kayak's, a water trampoline, a climbing wall in the water and a whole section for kids that we didn't even see. There were also things you could rent additionally, like jet ski's. We immediately found some prime lounging chairs on the beach and set out to RELAX in a big way. After lunch we found our way to the kayak's and had a blast on one of those. We kayaked out to the climbing tower and we both tried our hand at that. With the waves it's sooo much harder than it looks, and I didn't quite make it, but Brian got to the top and jumped/slid into the water. When we got back to the port area we did some more shopping and then headed to the little Senor Frogs that was hopping! We stayed there until we had to board the ship, where we proceeded to our room for a much needed siesta! It was an early night that evening, but it was such a fabulous time.
This was right as we got off the boat, heading towards Cozumel.
On the bus on our way to the beach. The people who snapped this shot turned out to be a family from Niceville (our neck of woods)!
Pina colada's can be art, too!Brian with his pina colada!My self portrait, I know I look like a goober, but this pic captures how I pretty much never wanted to leave here (except to get back to that adorable boy who tugged at my heart strings every day).The climbing tower (tall white blob) and the water trampoline. This is why we opted to kayak out there. I would have loved closer pics, but was way too scared to bring the camera in the kayak with us!This is where we ate lunch. I love this picture because of the view of the water. See how there are two shades of blue? It's seriously unreal to me how gorgeous it is!This is the congo line at Senor Frogs. We showed up right as they were starting and didn't really know what it was, but we were ready to boogy. Well, as you go in the congo line, dancing, you stop and they give you tequila. It was definitely a little bit crazy, but how often could I say we get the chance to do that? This was a big part of the reason we needed a nap when we got back on the boat. One last picture of the two of us before we had to bid farewell to Mexico. Oh how we love thee.

You know, we went to Cozumel (and Playa del Carmen) on our honeymoon! We ported out of New Orleans, and that beach place looks veeeeery much like the one we went to! I, however, planted my butt in a hammock. It was heavenly. :)
