Several cruises ago, we found this great piece of outdoor art in Cozumel, and placed it on an exterior wall - not only because we loved it, but because we figured the HOA would have a fit when we dared to modify the look of our condominium home. Well, it didn't work - maybe because our indentures allow a one pet rule.This time, we saw these adorable small iguana babies, also Talavera pottery, and they were one dollar each, so we splurged. When we got back, we positioned them as shown. What do you think? Pretty neat, huh?
That was our last port of call this time around, and instead of going downtown to "the Forum shops" and having to walk the mile or so back toward the ship, we skipped the $14 cab fare and turned right toward the Carnival Cruise Line facilities at Puerto Maya. It was only about a quarter mile, and we found a much nicer shopping area with a second location of our favorite restaurant "Pancho's Backyard", where we enjoyed conversation with a couple off another ship and several margaritas.
While there, I found a great tropical shirt, in orange (almost the same shade as my talavera iguanas) which I've used as a recent FaceBook profile picture. We also picked up a great Mexican blanket and a bottle of real authentic local vanilla to take back with us for Lori, who is Ripley's foster mom. Next time in Cozumel, and cruising out of Tampa there's always a stop in Cozumel, we'll know the best place to go if not choosing to return to the X-rail adventures. We've been there perhaps six times, certainly five, and still love it. You should take advantage of cruising - last minute fares make it very reasonable, and always fun.
