Beautiful Cozumel (Mexico)

This morning we all got up a bit early and packed up the car, grabbed some Dr. Peppers at the closest Oxxo and headed out for Cozumel. Easy drive, straight down the nice highway. Had a couple of wrong turns, but found the loading area of the docks. We made it with plenty of time, and watched Viaje 2 on the way over. As we were leaving we met a nice couple with Colorado license plates who gave us some ins and outs of the island. They showed us a very nice hotel, which looked way out of our price range, so we did some hostel shopping, and then came back to find out exact prices, and its turned out this place was in fact the cheapest by $10 pesos each. This is definitely the nicest place we have stayed at. Immensely cute. We have a little bungalow for the three of us. We met the nice couple who runs it, and chatted with them for a bit about our plans. Then we headed out for some food, and found a local bar, where, if you ordered a beer, they just gave you tapas. So we filled up on them pretty nicely, and Jared caught the eye of one of the...bartenders? Drunk patrons? We're not sure. Afterwards, we went to a small grocery shore to find some food, so we didn't have to keep buying everything from restaurants. I really wanted to get some fish, because their fish section was full of such fresh fish, that it didn't even smell fishy!! Unfortunately, the kitchen here is pretty sparce, only salt is stocked, so we opted against it, and just grabbed some fruit for breakfast. We headed back to the hotel, and then quickly, Jared and I set out to walk around the boardwalk and catch the sunset, while Clint went on a jog. Cozumel is wonderful! It's a gorgeous little island; very American, but not in the obnoxious way that Cancun is. All the waiters and shopkeepers were astonished when we responded in Spanish to their greetings. After about an hour, we returned back to the hotel and found Clint pooped lying facedown on the floor of our bungalow. Showering up and heading to bed for an early day tomorrow, enjoying the sun and fun in Cozumel!
