Just Some Pictures From Cozumel


A new statue of my beloved Ixchel.


Sunset time view from the balcony.


Me and Mr. Moon on my birthday. I was crying. Because I was happy. Can you tell?


A Virgin of Guadalupe altar at the Mercado.


A fine specimen of a toad at the Mini Golf. Where you can order drinks by RADIO!


Proof of the fact that you can order drinks by RADIO!


The notice you see everywhere about not putting the paper in the toilet. This was an especially nice one and I liked the tile work in the bathroom here. Mr. Moon asked me, "Do you really want a picture of that?" "Yes," I said. "I do."


My favorite, favorite, FAVORITE. Sopa de Lima. And hey! One of those margaritas was Mr. Moon's.


Blooming Royal Poinciana in El Centro. (Thank-you, Kathleen.)


Mr. Moon and me with the Cozumelian Johnny Depp. Now why would they call him that?
This was taken at a happy hour we were so graciously invited to by a very nice woman named Laura who blogs here. The Johnny Depp-looking guy is actually a man named Nacho Gutierrez who is a world-champion surfer and who lives in Cozumel and teaches surfing there. He seems like a very happy man although he scared me a little bit and was drinking something blue.

  1. Maggie- Is it that apparent? I cried so much it was ridiculous. And heart-melting and heart-mending and joyous.

  2. Wait you can't throw any paper in the toilet? Like do you wipe and then throw the tp in the trash? If so do the batrooms smell bad? I don't know if I would be comfortable doing that. Oh well. Love you.

  5. After those pictures, I feel like I went on a mini-holiday to Cozumel. Looks like the best holiday!

    We had to put our paper in a bin on our honeymoon in Crete, too. I didn't like it. It might be ok if it was me emptying the basket, but the thought of hotel staff clearing THAT up for me - urgh.

  6. It has been my experience that one should never trust anyone drinking anything blue. You, Ms. Moon, are one smart woman.

  7. Great pix. That one of you and Mr. Moon in the hotel room has got a really odd perspective that I like. It took me a while to figure out that you were on the balcony and the shape of it, etc... even though the sun was clearly setting. It's really cool, like you guys are in some kind of vortex of shapes with beautiful colors and a sunset.

    Nice.

  9. Lily- Yes. It takes some getting used to and no, the bathrooms do not stink at all. They clean out the baskets regularly. They are a small island with limited waste facilities.

    Learner- I was happy.

    Elizabeth- Oh, who wants to see pictures of other people's vacation? This is so self-indulgent of me.

    Mwa- Yep. Has to be done. Just part of life on these beautiful islands, I guess.

    Kori- Nah. It's just the lighting.

    Robin- Yeah. Blue drinks. Not sure about that.

    Ms. Fleur- We WERE in a vortex. Exactly.

    Ms. Bastard- Thank-you for saying than-you. You're sweet, even if you are a bastard.

  10. Who took the picture of you and Mr. Moon on the balcony and other places?

    Looking at you two together reminds me of something a tall co-worker said to me. I'm 5'2" and was going with a guy who is 6'5". She said, "You short women are always getting all the tall men!" I don't know about that because I was told by a guy that he didn't want to go out with me because of our height difference. Funny!

  13. Joy- I'm about five four and Mr. Moon is about five nine. It's a stretch, no pun intended. And I suppose you'd say Mr. Moon took the pictures. He set them on timer.

    Ginger- They were ALL happy.

    Xbox- Haha! I see that now. No, you ungodless heathen! She's pouring water. She's the life giver.
