Of Ferrys, Scooters & Other Scaly Things

     Isla Mujeres day! What a great day. We took a ferry out to Isla Mujeres (only 20 or so min) & being typical tourists having NO idea what to do--we did the only rational thing there is to do...we rented a scooter. For $25 for the whole day, including gas, we drove up and down Isla Mujeres, driving along the coastline, through the brush, and through their little city; stopping wherever we wanted to stop. We stopped in the middle of the day right on the beach (@ the greenest piece of ocean we could find) with the intention to just jump in and cool down. Well, when the water is so warm its like a bathtub---its hard to just "jump in." Four hours later we decided it was probably time to keep moving. One of my favorite places was a government funded turtle preserve that opened onto one of the most incredible ocean view I've ever seen...and this little place where we ate lunch...on the beach. I seriously mean ON the beach. Our feet buried in sand, we ate lobster and shrimp with the water 3 yards away. Perfect end to a perfect day.
