OK...time to start wrapping up our cruise! Let's see...on Day 6 of our trip, we docked in Cozumel, Mexico.
After we got off the ship, we browsed around in some of the shops located at the end of the pier.
Our initial intention was to walk around the downtown area, however, we soon decided to go on a tour of San Gervasio, the Mayan ruins. We hopped in a taxi and took about a 20 min. ride to get there. The beautiful ocean was calling my name the entire time!
We finally arrived at San Gervasio...and was it ever HOT and HUMID! Whew...and I thought Atlanta was bad! Our tour guide could barely speak a lick of English, so we all did our best to interpret what he was saying...it was quite a challenge!
The ruins were very interesting and it's where Mayan women paid tribute to the goddess of fertility and love.
I can't begin to tell you how many iguanas we saw during the tour. They were sunning themselves EVERYWHERE! Our tour guide told us they taste just like chicken. Well...I don't have any immediate plans to ever find out! Adorable, don't you think?
When our tour ended and we made it back to the pier, it came the biggest downpour! It must have rained for about 45 mins. or so! We got stuck in all the shops until the sky cleared up. Once we made it back on the ship, we put on our swimsuits and headed for the pool.
Unfortunately, we didn't stay too long because another rain cloud blew in. Oh, well! After dinner, we caught the Blue Planet show, which involved lots of acrobatics...it was pretty good. There was a 70's party on the Royal Promenade, but there was such a huge crowd that you couldn't stir the people with a stick! So, the girls took a quick late-night ride on the carousel, then we decided to call it a night around 11 PM...we were so ready, too!
Our 7th and final day would be a day at sea. Know what that means? I tried my hand at zip lining...and was it ever FUN!!! Oh, and did I mention that I even went rock climbing for the first time, too? You can bet I have pics. to prove it!
P.S. I'm sure most of y'all are just as shocked as I am about the verdict of NOT GUILTY in the Casey Anthony trial. I thought for sure that she'd, at least, be found guilty of manslaughter. It just saddens me that little Caylee didn't get the justice she so deserved.

Oh girl, I'd scream and run if I saw one of those iguanas!!! Yikes!!!
I'm envious of your wonderful trip! Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Oh girl, the Casey Anthony trial. I am speechless. IF the woman is guilty of such a horrendous crime, God help her live with herself.
Bless you,

The water is beautiful and I'm surprised you didn't try the iguana meat!! :-) You mean they didn't serve any? This ship looks like it has just about everything!!
If she really did kill her child (I think she had a hand in it for sure), I hope she is so tormented that she never gets a minute of peace. Either way, she will have another judgment day.
Get out of the city! They taste like chicken? EEEEK!
I am so mad about Caylee. Like so mad I can't stand it. How did that happen?
Check you out, ziplining and rock climbing?! Awesome!
I love iguanas, I think they're pretty cute.
Hi April
I enjoyed seeing your pictures of the ruins. Sounds like another fun day. Looking forward to hearing about your zip wire and rock climbing experiences :)

Oh, April- I've been reading back and catching up on your trip and it looks like you all had an amazing time!
I love Brittany in that big sombrero, but Chris? I'm not too sure about his! *giggle*
I agree- it's so sad that there will be no justice for little Caylee... but her mother better watch out once she's released from custody- I told my hubby so many people are angry right now they're capable of doing anything!
Awwww.... the iguanas are so cute! That's definitely on my list of things that I will not eat! So glad that y'all had a good time in Mexico.
I didn't follow the Anthony trial. However, I know a little of the circumstances. I just can't figure out the whole childs been missing for a month and nobody cares situation. Ummm, doesn't this scream guilt?
