| We piled into a van for a 5 hour driving tour of the little island. My favorite part was seeing the neighborhood behind the port of San Miguel. |
 |
| The castle in the background is "just for lookin'." |
 |
| A nice stop at a local chocolate factory. |
 |
| The patchwork beastie of Cozumel |
 |
| The driver asked if any of us like coconut. Mom and I gave a wholehearted "yes!" (the others just made some little grumbling sounds) so the driver brought us to his own house, jumped out of the van, grabbed a machete, and chopped down some branches of coconuts. I hope it was in fact his own house. |
 |
| Our next stop was the Mayan archeological site of San Gervasio. I really love these roots! |
 |
| Mayan ruins |
 |
| Carter spotted a band of coatis (the locals call them raccoons). They seem really mischievous! |
 |
| The iguana king |
 |
| When we got back to the van the driver treated us to the coconuts. What a refreshing way to cool off after walking around in the sun! |
 |
| Mom was pretty excited. |
 |
 |
| We stopped at a few scenic beach lookouts. |
 |
| El Mirador is famous for the rocky arch carved by the sea. |
 |
| After completing our lovely grand loop of the island we returned to the port which was festering with a high concentration of Spring Breakers. |
