Cozumel

March 1st-2nd
Cozumel

Here’s another port that I’ve been to quite a few times before today so I was in no rush to get off…that and I had “in port manning” and had to stay on the ship till 1. When I did get off, I went looking for internet. We were docked at the international port, meaning it was about a 30 minute walk to get into the city. The walk was interesting though because I ran into a couple huge iguanas, a couple of which took me by surprise simply because I’m not used to looking down at the side walk and seeing a gigantic lizard.
I ended up with Jukka and John (purely by coincidence) at some tourist bar just outside the city. They had a good internet connection, which was nice, but also tourist prices, so we ended up spending a little too much on some quesadillas that were good, but not quite as good as if we had gone to a local place without internet. But whatever, it was nice to be in Mexico having a beer and quesadillas. I hung out there for a while doing internet, then made a quick trip over to the grocery store for some supplies, and then caught a cab to go back to the ship. Sorry, no exciting story there.
The rest of the day was usual, show that night with the headstand piano guy (who didn’t do it the second show), and that’s about it.
The 2nd was a sea day on the way to New Orleans. The water was unusually rough and the weather unusually cold, which didn’t exactly help my hopes for New Orleans. But it was a normal sea day otherwise, nothing to write home about. Thanks!
