Excursion - Cozumel

The second day port of our upcoming cruise is in Cozumel.  This port if probably the largest source of discussion for us.  The plus?  SO much to do and see.  The minus?  Only a small amount of time to do it.

The cruise masters have recommended snorkeling in Cozumel, instead of in Grand Cayman.  The water is described as clear and beautiful with the ability to see to the bottom:

Gorgeous!  That is serving as option one and is WAY out in front as the possibility for the port.

Option number two?  Ruins:



This is probably the largest competitor.  I am HUGE into history and culture.  I love to see historical monuments, and I am very fond of buildings.  I love to imagine the people who walked the steps, halls, and floors before me, envisioning what their lives must have been like.  I enjoy creating the stories of them in my mind, "watching" them live through my imagination.

Lastly, there is the shopping and the food:

These two things satisfy the culture part of that history and culture.  Not only do I like to imagine how people used to live, I love to experience how the culture has been shaped and adapted over time: or if it even has.  My favorite moments have been in places where time has managed to impart very little change.  I might be disappointed, I know, mainly because this is a tourist location.

So, the jury is still out on what to do when we get there.  I am open to suggestions...feel free to comment.

Of course, that all goes out the window if I can find the location of those fish tacos...
