The last few days we´ve just been hanging at the beach. My dad and I dove again Thursday and Friday. We saw two big octopus, more nurse sharks and turtles, HUGE parrot fish and lobsters. The other night we walked down the beach to eat lobster (veggie dish for me). I tried a bite of the lobster...but didn´t like it. I think I was born a vegetarian. After dinner they gave us free tequila slammers. My mom and I ¨had¨to have a 2nd because we needed photo documentation. Also, being the youngest in in the group, I was roped into a drinking contest, which, of course, I won. It was a bit painful - brain freeze. We (3 other women and I) had to drink a frozen strawberry daiquiri through a straw and the first to finish won a koozie.
It has rained the past two days, so I caught up on some reading and also did my laundry. $12 for 1 load in the washer and 1 load in the dryer...self-serv. Yikes. The resort we are staying is at the South end of Cozumel...about 15 minute taxi ride to the town square. So they have quite a captive audience with the things you have to buy...although it´s all inclusive with the food and drinks.
Well, tomorrow I leave Cozumel. I´ll take a taxi into town, a ferry back to Playa del Carmen, a bus back to Cancun airport and then fly directly to Flores, Guatemala. I´ll write more next week, but I´ll be studying in a Spanish school in Flores for a week and will be staying with a Guatemalan family. The school will be picking me up at the airport...so I should be relatively safe.
Being at the resort I feel like I´m on ¨vacation¨ so it will be good to get out on my own and start exploring a little more.
