After three months with my two children, it was great to see my husband again! We met up in Cozumel and had a very relaxing a fun-filled visit. The Coral Princess Resort was a great location and the staff was very welcoming. We listened to the music available at the hotel some of the nights, swam with the fish, and got a lot of sun! On a few occasions, we ventured to the other side of the island. On one of our trips, I drove a scooter and had a "hair raising" ride...I had very little experience driving a scooter and doing this in Mexican traffic was quite a challenge! We made some nice friends and ate some delicious local food. We also visited a Mayan village, a cenote, and the Mayan ruins of Coba. Another fun outing we took was biking and exploring the coastal road. We swam and snorkeled as we went along. The diving for Roland was full of exotic fish and turtles too! It was a great place for a holiday!

sticky white substace that is an ingedient in Chiclets gum! |
 |
| MAYAN HOUSE- We had a tour at a Mayan home complete with 14 children and lots of exotic pets. |
 |
| These were the wild boars that the family had fenced in as livestock. |
 |
| This was a female monkey that lived at the house. |
 |
| This is a pet that eats the bugs and rats in the area... |
 |
| This is the only lake I ever saw in the area, usually the rivers were underground cenotes. |
 |
| VISITING THE MAYAN RUINS OF COBA |
 |
| This is the area they used to play a ball game that used this hole like a basketball hoop of sorts. |
 |
| Here is our comical guide on the transportation around the ruins...bikes driven by the locals... |

Our American friends, Katie and John took us to the other side of the island
and then to lunch at a local restaurant. |
