How hard could it be to find a beach in Cozumel? They are known for snorkeling and beaches. And its not that big of an island, so we thought if we just picked a direction and started walking, we'd find one in no time. Not so. After half and hour the most we saw was rocks, some sea side diners, and another dock for more cruise ships. So we turned backed, thinking we could catch the ferry to Cancun and spend some beach time there. Turned out that the ferry schedule wasn't that great. We would only have 30 minutes or so before we'd have to turn around and come back or be left by our ship. Finally, we gave in to one of the many guys calling "Taxi!" and had him drive us to a beach.
Unfortunately this was the coldest day of our trip. The locals were all in coats in hats. Since Cozumel weather is not much different from Texas weather, I was cold. Getting in and out of the water was not a pleasant experience. You know how once you get a lake or a river or something and its cold at first, but then it warms up? The opposite was true for that part of the Caribbean. We did manage to stay floating in the water for about an hour. Then I gave up. After about 20 minutes of watching me shiver on the beach, Mason took pity on me and claimed she was cold too and we spent the rest of the day picking out souvenirs. The sun came out when it was time to leave though.
Just look at those clouds! If you were swimming under that, wouldn't you be cold too?
And just because I haven't shown you yet, here's a shot of our cruise ship, the Norwegian Spirit.

Mom says that she is sorry that she gave you the ability to feel cold in the tropics. I'm sure it was still warmer there than it was here on that day. Alright, I know we were not in our swimsuits!!!
