MIAMI

On our last day in Miami, we relaxed and took photos of the setting sun over the airport. Twelve hours later, we were flying back home from that same airport.

 Moon Over Miami

San Gervasio, Mexico

On our 2nd day in Mexico, we visited San Gervasio which is an archaeological site of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization. The ruins were once a hub of worship of the goddess Ix Chel, deity of the moon, childbirth, fertility, medicine and weaving.  Pre-Columbian women would try to travel to San Gervasio and make offerings at least once in their lifetime.  "The Arch" dates back to 1200 - 1650 AD.  Among the ruins were lots of Lizards of all sizes.

COZUMEL, MEXICO

On Day 3 of our cruise, we sailed into Cozumel, Mexico.  We stayed in port for 2 nights.  Cozumel is a small island (30 miles long by 9 miles wide) in the Caribbean Sea off the eastern coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Cozumel is a tourist destination known for its scuba diving and snorkeling.  We didn't do either one, but we still enjoyed the streets, sites and the beaches.   One of the highlights of our visit was the Pelicans. We were able to get so close that we could reach out and touch them.

During our walk through the town, we came upon some American musicians...actually, murals painted on the side of buildings of Mick Jagger and another of the Beatles. Another interesting site were the cars painted like zebras and tigers that had "Rent Me" signs on them.
