Yes, this was amazing that no lives were lost!  Still a lot of damage being cleaned up, but it certainly could've been worse!  It passed about 3.5 miles from our house, but was pretty frightening nonetheless.  Such a small world that your van driver's dad was from here. 

I was floored when I saw pictures of the damage! I just knew their would be fatalities and was worried until I got ahold of my relatives!

Third port- Cozumel

 

After two early port days, we were so glad that we weren't scheduled to be in Cozumel until 10:00! We were still up fairly early and spent a few hours up top as we cruised into Cozumel. When we made it to the Lido deck, we found that we had been overrun by towel animals! I absolutely love the towel animal invasion! We ate breakfast, found chairs in the shade, and just relaxed. 

 

Today, there were three other ships in Cozumel. An MSC, Allure of the Seas, and at the Puerta Maya pier with us was the Carnival Miracle.

 

This was our 18 billionth time in Cozumel, so we are very comfortable on the island and have previously rented cars, so that's what did this time. Before the cruise, mom reserved a car through Alamo. We ended up with a Nissan March and the AC worked amazingly well and that is all we cared about! I think it ended up costing around $100 for the day and that included every type of insurance imaginable and to have Alamo fill the car up with gas, so we wouldn't have to mess with it. We got the car and made our way to town!

Cozumel continued

 

We pulled out of the Puerta Maya parking lot a little before 11:00 and explored San Miguel for a little bit. Our first stop was the Mega. I LOVED their baked goods selection! We bought donuts, muffins, mini chocolate rolls, and rolls. We ate our weight in carbs for lunch and didn't regret any of it. We also bought tequila and a few other items. After the Mega, we went to the Cozumel Drugstore and got the meds we needed. I cannot recommend this pharmacy enough! Fernando and Bobbi Telez are the owners and we won't give anyone else our business. As we were headed out of town, we drove through a protest. This group was protesting the way we treat the earth and were urging people to be more environmentally friendly. I agreed with their message. After our errands we headed to the east side!
