Pretty soon, it was time to head further up the road to my other favorite place on Earth... Mezcalitos holds a special place in my heart, and unfortunately during the last hurricane they suffered some damage necessitating the replacement of the grass palapa roof. I had a couple of tshirts hanging there that didn't survive the renovation, and next time I'll have to make and bring a replacement. Their margarita holds a very high place on my list of all time favorites. I always get mine with the very best liquor they carry: Don Julio Reposado and Controy... Their small, but as strong as they come, yet perfectly balanced...

I asked Crescencio where the best and freshest ceviche in Cozumel could be found. He knew just the place, and pretty soon we arrived. A little hole in the wall type place, which is where you find all of the greatest meals... This one had fish, shrimp, conch, and octopus... This fish is fresh off the boat every single day...

Next thing I wanted was some real, authentic Mexican tacos. The kind that the working class people eat, and cheap... Pretty soon, we came to a little shack way back in the neighborhood district... They specialize in cabeza, which means "head"... No, not that kind of head, actual meat from the head of the pig. Brain, cheek, tongue, ect... Unfortunately, they were sold out by the time we got there, so I had to settle for pastor, carnitas, and beef... Still great...

I walked around and took a few more photos before ordering one more margarita... I don't know how long it'll be until I make it back here...

Was this the same bar where the jellyfish incident occurred?

And, pretty soon, we made it all the way around the island to San Miguel, the capitol of Cozumel. I paid Crescencio, and told him I would hopefully see him again sooner than later. I set out on foot to another of my all time favorite margaritas: Dick's Dive... I ordered the very top shelf of what they had, which was Don Julio Reposado and Grand Marnier... This thing was huge like many of the clubs around Cozumel, but with better ingredients, and expertly mixed.

As if I needed anything else to eat or drink, I was craving a lobster and bacon sandwich at Le Chef. I headed up Melgar a few blocks, but they were closed today for renovations. I also wanted a margarita from Green House, but my mind was on lobster, so I headed back South several blocks to the Lobster Shack.

That's the "double lobster" sandwich there above... Twenty bucks, but awesome. I really wanted the bacon lobster sandwich, but this would have to do... While I was inside, it started raining, so I didn't feel like walking several blocks back up to Green House. I decided to just jump in a cab and head back towards the ship. I had pretty much eaten and drank my fill, and had to walk down the LONG pier to the ship in the rain. By the time I made it back on board, I was soaked, so I took another shower... Which brings us to now... I'm sitting here trying to decide if I want to drink a couple more, though anything I have isn't going to compare to what I already had today. No, not even at the Alchemy Bar... I also probably don't need anything to eat, as you saw the pictures... What to do, what to do?...

 Yeah … That’s troubling.  Maybe there is one where the bar is.  

 

The drinks and food look great. 

It's outside on the outside of the building... Primitive, but it's there...
