Then back to the bus and we went to an area with an original Mayan temple and the first church on Cozumel (about 150 years old).
MAyan temple
church
trees had white paint on them to stop ants (I think the paint was mixed with concrete too)
now for Tequila tasting and talk
Most commercial brands only let the blue agave plant grow a couple of years to make tequila, but in Mexica (Jalisco) they let it grow 8-10 years to let plant mature. Then we had sips of all nine on display above - 4 kinds, 3 fruity kinds, amaretto kind, then a bailey's kind. I am not a drinker but these were actually delicious and very smooth.

back to bus
Then I met my friend and we walked out of the secure port area (gasp) and went to Ernesto's Fajitas ( I had asked guide for a place to eat and he recommended this - wanted something a little more real than Senor Frogs or Margaritaville) It was about a five minute walk
I thought it was so cute how they spelled "flour" tortillas in pic above
yummy fresh chips
delicious chicken fajitas
this was our view eating lunch
My friend had an amazing time scuba diving in Cozumel too btw - very clear
Then it was time to head back to ship, well after a little shopping of course, I got a necklace
oh and the guide had said back in 2005 when Hurricane Wilma had hit, (all their food, water, supplies come by ferry from mainland but all ferries went to Cuba for safety for a month) so three cruise lines: Disney, Royal Caribean, and ? (Carinval??) brought supplies during that month
Back to the room for a 20 minute nap before Disney hits music trivia in Schooner Bar! 20 out of 34 - it was actually hard!
Then we did some trivia from book corner before Visual Celebrities trivia where we only got 10 of 20.
Time to go to:
green quesadilla and rice and then some messy tacos
Then it was time to go to Broadway Melodies Theater for "Piano Man" show. We sat in balcony as somewhere different to sit. It was ok = singers and dancers it seemed to mostly 70s music. Then we went to the shops for a raffle that we did not win. Back in the room there was a confirmation for Chef's Table - however I never made a reservation. odd. Got that canceled. Read a bit then time for 70s music triva, um we got 3 of 15 LOL.
Off to bed before last sea day!
