Cozumel--finally a sunny day!


Yeah!  The sun decided to come out when we got to lovely Cozumel, Mexico.  We took another tender boat, since there were 5 other cruise ships in town.  




We really didn't have much of a plan, except we wanted to parasail and snorkel.  So we got sucked into this resort presentation in exchange for parasailing.  The resort was beautiful, but not on the agenda right now.  After the tour, we were finally able to move on to the parasailing part. 
So we were given instructions to meet someone at the dock named Carlos in a red topped boat for our parasailing experience.  Instead we met these two guys in a little white boat, neither named Carlos, who repeatedly told us we were looking for them....for some reason they finally convinced us, although impending doom flashed before our eyes.  We asked if there was an instructional video or something that was supposed to tell us what to do, but they said, "No, I show you.  I show you."  I took this picture of them in case the police could use it to identify them...  I guess they would have to have all the men in the line-up bend over so they could identify the second guy.
Jay looking nervous...
Actually, looking back, we laugh at how nervous we were.  It really was very simple, and the guys were really parasail dudes and not tourist abductors.  Go Jay!    






And here's me with a sideways takeoff, sorry!






So after that experience, we decided to relax.  This is the little beach we went to snorkel and sunbathe.


What a hot babe! (and whiter than white!)
Time to return to the ship so soon....We tendered back with the beautiful sun. 
Back on the ship again...finally we look like we get a little sun!
