January 15 through January 23, 2010: Paula left with 16 people on a SCUBA diving trip to Cozumel, Mexico. We ate at a wonderful restaurant El Moro in a residential area. The even had a neighborhood cat that wandered in and out while we ate. |
We passed this shrine on the way to dinner. It was lit with many Christmas lights. Sunday we walked by a small Catholic Church during services and stopped and listened. It was so crowded people were outside listening to the service. |

I couldn't resist showing what one night's dining at Los Otatess looked like. We ate some of the beef that is shown here. Food was very inexpensive and good. |
The last day we could not dive so we rented jeeps and headed to the other side of the island. We took in the Mayan ruins on the island. |

 Couldn't
resist this photo. The English translation for a native beach. |
 Here
is a partial group photo of La Hoza, a restaurant we frequented on two
different occasions. The food we had was excellent each night.
I even tried fish wrapped in a banana leaf and it was very good. |

 A

show Mark the overhead wiring.

 Out
last night our divemaster Troy Ruhr joined us for dinner. Here we are
purchasing our t-shirts from him. We spent the week diving with Pelagic
Ventures. Troy is originally from Winnipeg, CA so it was interesting
hearing spanish spoken with a Canadian accent - eh. Troy and his crew did
an great job showing us the reefs. |

 Our
first day we could not dive because of the winds. Taking a walk we ran
into a pelican. Bob couldn't resist sticking him hand in the poor birds
beak. |
 You
have to love the ocean views. This was our view during lunch on our last
full day on the island. |

| E-mail January 25, 2010: Spent some time on Gilbert Lodge’s Web site. Tell Paula I enjoyed her underwater pictures very much. It’s amazing how colorful the fish are, and so many unusual ones. Mary in Crosslake, MN. |
