Final port of call: Costa Maya, Mexico

For our final day on foreign land we revisited Mexico. This time, we were on the mainland, which gave the aura of excitement.  If I had a better sense of what the area was like it would have been fun to take another tour.  We decided to stay local. 

Yet another generic port area.  This one is also very new.

I couldn't wait to escape the port.  There was only one road out and word on the street was that the nearest town area was 2-8 km away.  I took my chances with the distance and set off on foot, solo.  Yes, it was hot and sunny :o( 

The first church I saw was Luterana.  Yay!

I eventually got to the apparent "end of the road" then followed a paved walkway along the water.

Yet another beautiful beach!

It got really developed and is still being constructed.  For some reason I was reminded of Gilligan's Island.

It would be nice to stay here a while.

So this is where the Spring Breakers were setting up camp (literally)...

Not sure how it happened but Mom and Dad found me.  Then they got us drinks and a guitar singer.  I am still not sure if it was a dream.  Mom and I didn't even get sick off the ice in our coconut drinks!

Mom and I went on a hunt for properly working WiFi.  It was here that I discovered Brandeis was closed due to 12-18 inches of expected snow ;o)

Another tortilla operation!!  After some samples right off the conveyor belt we bought a tall stack of them.  About a kilo for only $1!

Even though we still had a couple hours before the ship would depart, Mom and I decided there wasn't much left to do.  We grabbed our prized tortillas, walked back to the lighthouse, and took a taxi back to the port.  It was starting to sprinkle anyways.

Back on the ship, who could forget it was St Patrick's Day?  Reubens all around!
