First 2 days of Mexico....
Friday
Left Angela and Dugan’s house very, very, early in the morning…3 to be exact. We took a taxi to the airport and boarded at 5ish. It was nice I saw the sunrise from the plane. We landed in Houston and hurried to the next flight only to wait in line. The next flight we caught was about 45min late, which was kinda nice so we didn’t have to worry about missing the flight. The flight to Cozumel was a little bumpy. I had to force myself not to woo when my stomach dropped. When we landed in Cozumel we got off the plane onto stairs outside. It was raining and humid. We made it through customs, and found our funjet people. We took a taxi to our hotel. On the way we dropped off some people at the hotel we almost stayed at. I’m so glad we didn’t stay there, our hotel was much better than that one. So once we got to the hotel we had to wait a bit for our room. We explored the hotel grounds with their peacocks, flamingos, lizards, and turtles. We also had some lunch at one of their buffets. When our room was ready they took our luggage to it in a little golf cart type thing it was great! Our room unfortunately had 2 double beds. Andy went and talked to the front desk, and got us a room with a king the rest of the time we were there. We then changed into our swimming suits and explored the beach. I’m so glad my mommy got us the wet shoes, it made walking around on the rocks much easier. After that we had dinner at their buffet. That was the only evening we were there that they had kiwi. Poor Andy kept wanting more. We then when back to the room and found Phantom of the Opera on it was about over but it was still cool to see. I enjoyed watching tv even though half the stations were in Spanish.
Saturday
When we woke up it was raining. It rained pretty much the entire day. We went and had breakfast then watched some tv, we decided to explore the beach while we were waiting for time to pass so we could switch rooms. On the beach we walked past the part of the beach that was protected by the hotel and found some hotels that were destroyed by hurricane Katrina. We also found some crabs, and sea urchins, and conch shells, and little fish in the ocean. We then went back and had lunch. They really didn’t have anything to drink that I liked so I went to talk to the guys behind the bar to see if they had anything I was interested in. They did not know what horchata was. I saw some white beverage, the bartender said it was coconut cream, so I had him make me a drink of that. It was really good, Andy then had one too. After lunch we switched rooms. The second room we had was much nicer, it was on the second floor and the bed was huge! We also decided to rent a car and drive around the island. The island was very simple, it only had one road going around it. The view from the road was gorgeous. Since it was warm out I kinda assumed that it wouldn’t get dark early, but it did. The road on Cozumel goes in a huge circle and we had to go through the downtown area to get back to the hotel. We got a little lost in downtown Cozumel. I was a little nervous about it, not that I really had any reason to be…but still. We did stop at a gas station and Andy picked up some kinder eggs. We also stopped into a little shop selling fish, (inside Chrissy’s tango song was playing) Andy noticed some turtles that looked trapped under some plastic in their tank. Andy for some reason asked the guy working there if the turtles were stuck, the guy replayed “si Tortuga” I’m not quite sure what Andy expected him to say…We then found our way back to the hotel and had dinner. Also Andy driving a rent a car is like 2 blind ladies afraid to go forward. It was ridiculous!
Some generalizations i made from observing other people was that we were one of the youngest couple there, and all the other people there smoked like chimneys. It was disgusting. I still can not believe how many people were smoking. Horrible.
I will write more later when I don't have to go to bed....
