Cozumel

Cozumel

Cozumel wasn’t anything too exciting today. The weather was somewhat lousy compared to what I’m used to, but I’ll still take it over anything going on in Illinois right now. It was also really windy out, meaning we were getting some nice waves. This made for some entertainment on the pier leading from the ship into the terminal. Due to the way the pier is shaped, it focuses the waves into a corner where they push up over the pier, right where all the guests need to walk to get onto the island. So it’d be really great to watch these people trying to time the waves, only to make a run for it at the worst possible moment and get completely soaked in the process. On the way back, there was some lady I saw standing there for two minutes trying to time these waves, and when she finally decided to make a run for it right after a huge wave passed, another wave followed it immediately, offering the woman no escape. She screamed as her sunglasses got knocked off her head, stopped in the middle of her run, turned around, and ran back completely drenched. I’m sure she wasn’t the only one. I, on the other hand, made it by free and clear both times, something I feel a right to be proud of. Anyways, Brandon, Pieter, and I walked into the city. Pieter stopped at a internet place and Brandon and I continued into the city looking for a sushi place Justin told me about. We found the restaurant, but after deciding it was more expensive than we’d hoped, we decided to walk a little further to the café we like to stop at, where we then both grabbed lattes. Then we walked back, stopped at the grocery store where I picked up a nice bottle of Argentinean wine, and walked back to the ship. We had a big band set that night, and that was about it for the day. Thanks for reading!
