Cozumel

This post raps up my cruise in our 3rd of 4 ports--Cozumel. Our 4th port was the Bahamas. And it was great and all but pretty much we just laid on a beach. There wasn't much to take photos of except our cruise ship.

Cozumel was fun and full of culture. We did my favorite of our 3 excursions--swimming with dolphins!

Dolphins are such amazing creatures. It was awesome to get to interact with them up close and personal. Our group of 10 was led by one trainer and we swam with two dolphins. We were on a platform waist deep in the pool and I could reach out and touch the dolphins, they were that close. We took turns swimming out and doing various hand signals to ask the dolphins to do various activities. I got a kiss, hand shake and did a belly swim. Here's a photo of the hand shake:

SO cute huh? The belly ride was awesome. I held onto the dolphin's fins while she swam upside-down with me on her belly. They are so fast and powerful. After everyone had their turn we spread out in the water and the dolphins swam in between us while we got to touch them. Really cool.

After all that excitement we were ready for lunch and by this time in our cruise, I was definitely ready for some good Mexican food! So yummy.

Then we walked around the streets and marketplaces in Cozumel taking photos. Here's some of the shots I liked:

I know, Jessica Claire does the lock thing but I couldn't help it--I loved the color and all the rusty stuff:

I saw this guy on the street holding a cool orange iguana and before I could take a photo of him with it, he put it on Amy's shoulders and asked me for money for taking the photo. It was worth it for this:
