The morning of our third day at sea, David woke me up at 6:30 AM (5:30 AM, Central Time) because he couldn't sleep. It was just starting to get light outside, so we decided to get up on deck in our pjs and watch the sun rise over the Gulf of Mexico.
It was beautiful, and one of my favorite memories of vacation. I think Dave enjoyed it too.
We took the morning slow, since the boat didn't dock in Cozumel until 1 PM. The morning was spent sunning, reading (I told you I did a lot of reading), etc. It was very exciting when we started to see signs of land.
We docked in Cozumel and spent the first twenty minutes figuring out how to get to a beach. I got called "senorita" several times...didn't bother to correct them and say I was a "senora"!
We ended up taking a 10-minute taxi ride to Mr. Sancho's Beach and Bar, where we were able to get on the beach for free so long as we bought a drink at the bar. Fine with us. We bought our drinks and spread out on the lawn chairs to relax. And I got to swim in the Gulf.
We went back to the ship for dinner, then my MIL went to her stateroom to relax while Amy, Bryan, Christine, David and I went to try to get to Senor Frogs and back in two hours.
Well, that didn't happen. Turns out that Senor Frog's was an HOUR walk away from where our cruise had docked, and we were too nervous about missing the boat to try to make it. So we went to Fat Tuesdays, a Mexican dive bar, and had some drinks.
And some debauchery...
Bryan was way more comfortable in the dive bar than Dave was.
"Single Ladies" came over the loudspeakers, and Bryan showed off that he "liked it" so he "put a ring on it."
Amy had a brain freeze from drinking too fast.
Amy and Christine did their traditional "double fisting alcohol" shot (we have one of these from every wedding or fancy event of the past few years).
...And Bryan and Christine got up on the ledge to dance to "Cupid Shuffle."
It was a good night, but by the time we were all pretty inebriated it was time to say goodbye to Mexico and get back on the ship, to set sail for Miami again.
Ciao, Mexico.
Final entry: sailing back to Miami and wrap up of vacation.
