No cabs this morning and I finally realize my packing mistake of too much stuff after a 5 block walk lugging it all. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10352 10352 http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10355 10355 Mainland port opposite Holbox; Chiquila. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10358 10358 One of many vendors that jump on the bus on one side of town and off on the other side, zipping across the same path all day while selling their wares. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10361 10361 In Cancun, I start to jump on the bus to Playa del Carmen but have a second though, I am on no schedule. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10364 10364 I have long yearned for a repeat of the food friend Juan introduced me to, native Yucatan. The one block walked described to the restaurant turns into 3. This fish is delivered while I wait for my dinner. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10367 10367 I must keep with my tradition of kissing the fish. This one has a stronger aroma! http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10370 10370 Back to the bus station, this chica is begging to get snapped. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10373 10373 All the rushing lands me with a 2 hour ferry wait. What's to do in Playa del Carmen but grab some photos. A one dip ice cream costs $7 US here but I am hot tired and need a snack. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10376 10376 Playa del Carmen is not a shopping mall but a very expensive and fancy shopping mall. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10379 10379 I refuse to buy a drink at anywhere named "Senior Frogs". Here is the beachfront for that bar. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10382 10382 No friends in all the familiar places. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10385 10385 A "Something About Mary" moment as I wonder what she thinks when she later sees the lump of lotion on her leg. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10388 10388 Everything I don't need or want is located in such a convenient area. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10391 10391 I can't escape shouts of "no photos allowed" for some reason. I am not so sure this is legal any longer in Mexico. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10394 10394 Yes I did check but at $6 US for each individual piece, someone else can enjoy it. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10397 10397 To the Posado Eden in Cozumel, my first time off the beach. It is a sleeper value at around $17 a night and my back of the hotel room is the quietest I have enjoyed in all my time in Mexico. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10400 10400 http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10403 10403 South toward Barracuda Hotel http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10406 10406 North toward Ferry pier. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10409 10409 David Massey's favorite bar is still open. Great! He should come back one day. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10412 10412 Pier for ferry to Playa del Carmen. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10318 10318 I arrive at the Barracuda at 11AM. Juan comes down to greet me. We talk for over two hours and he buys me free flowing beer and lunch. His daughter is going to National Basketball championship after winning state. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10322 10322 Bar maid at the Barracuda Hotel bar. http://gallery.donanthony.com/main.php?g2_itemId=10325 10325 Kathey and my old room has been converted to an extension of the restaurant. Sad but the only option with all the noise.
