Cozumel Mexico - December 3, 2010 - El Nortes

Day 5
Breakfast is looking a bit sparse for Cheri as she sits with two meager tostada chips in front of her.  The guacamole has turned brown from oxidation and is no longer edible.  As John is munch in away on his bakery goodies from Chedaruai he says, "OK.  Let's get you some breakfast in town". Cheri says with glee, huevos rancheros!

They find a little cafe right next to the bakery and settle in for one of the best breakfasts they've had on the island.  the coffee has a tinge of cinnamon and on the menu is not only huevos ranchos, but divorced eggs!  That's one green and one red egg with ham on tortillas!  Yummy!

We stop in to see Blanca our dive connection.  She tells us what we already know, the port is still closed.  So we press a bit and say, well if the port opens later can we go night diving.  Much to our surprise she says yes! There is another couple at the Wyndham and they want to night dive too.  So the deal is struck, she'll call around 4.

Breakfast being done, it was time to explore. Since we've got the day ahead we decide to drive north on to a stretch of island we've never been to before.

The iguanas were amazing today!




And the thing to do on a non-dive day?  Drink margaritas at Mezcalitos!


 At 4:10 (that's 4'o clock Mexican time) Blanca rings the room.  She's says it likely to be ten more minutes before she knows for sure about the port.  But the local guys say no way, but they can't confirm until they get a call from Mexico City!  So I ask, are computers better than eye balls?  Why can't they just look outside.  Laughing, she tells me she'll call back in ten minutes, which I am sure will be twenty minutes and ends up being 35 minutes!  No matter - we were just hanging out.

Enjoy!
Cheri & John
