As we cruised into Cozumel the next morning, we realized that the rain had unfortunately followed us there. It stayed with us most of the day.
They other thing we saw as we came into Cozumel was that we were going to be docked next to the Mother of all Cruise ships.
This ship was seriously ginormous.
It towered above ours. It was twice as big, but also had twice as many people.
We wanted to do something in Cozumel that would have appeal to everyone in our group. We chose the Cozumel Island tour.
The first stop of our tour was an unplanned one. The air conditioner in our bus stopped working shortly after we got started. They decided to stop us off at a tequila farm for a tour while we waited for a new bus.
The girls enjoyed every minute of it.

This is the agave fruit. It is mashed up, and then left to ferment.
Our next stop was El Mirador. It's on the other side of the island, and is a popular look-out, famous for it's unusual limestone formations.
We searched for seashells every chance we got.

Next we went to El Cedral, an ancient city once populated by the Mayans. Historians think the first Catholic Mass in the American Continent was held here.
This Mayan-dressed woman was walking around with an extra headdress to try on and take pictures - for a tip of course.

Ready to move on!
Our last stop was to Playa Mia Beach Adventure Park. The kids were looking forward to this because they wanted to have time at the beach. Unfortunately, due to our unplanned tour of the tequila factory, our beach time was short. Luckily the rain had stopped, and the sun had come out by the time we got to the beach.

Check out the color of the ocean - gorgeous!
Before going back to the ship, we walked around the shops a little bit. The vendors there are relentless!

Megan made a great group of friends on the cruise. There were about 10 guys and girls that hung out together. We hardly ever saw Megan after dinner each night.
After dinner that night we went to a Magic/Comedy show. Following that we stayed up and watch Planet 51 in the theater. It was a fun and exhausting day!
