Cozumel, Mexico 3-2-2012

Today we docked on the lovely Island of Cozumel. We took local taxis to Chankanaab were the kids had a dolphin encounter. The weather here is almost too hot for this Minnesotan but a dip in the ocean does help. The park has all kinds of activities including snorkeling, diving, seal shows and iguanas to name a few.

Peyton's first can of soda

Costa Maya, Mexico 3/1/2012

Today we docked in Costa Maya, Mexico. For a $2.00 taxi ride ten minutes down the road we landed on the beach at a placed called Nohoch Kay. For $40.00 a person, they provided the sun, the chair and all the Dos Equis and fish tacos anyone could want. A little snorkeling, kayaking and wind surfing were available too.....and....for the real brave, wave runners. We just enjoyed the warm weather and sea breeze for most of the day.










The amazing fish tacos made with grouper.




Back at the ship, we celebrated Angie's 30th birthday!!!!


Two more days at sea then home to snowing cold Minnesota Ugh!!!

Belize City 2-29-2012

The beautiful Caribbean waters around Belize City are amazing. It's easy to see why people are drawn here. Per the locals, many American's retire here and living is cheap.

We hired a company called V.I.V. to take about 11 of us to these awesome Crystal Caves. We walked a little over a mile thru the rain forest to but out tube is this river and cruise thru an enormous cave system.












In the evening we celebrated Peyton's 4th birthday.
