As beautiful as Cozumel is, it can be equally as quiet. It was eerie how empty the downtown area was tonight; large shops and restaurants stood vacant and desperate. The town is ruled by the cruise ships, when they dock the people come. Being that it is Monday and early in the evening, the downtown is slightly lively with a lot of locals and a few resort folk, but no cruise people. The city is equally ruled by soccer it seems, and after Mexico won today's game, the fans came out in droves. With sound makers and red jerseys in the air and everywhere you can see they lined the streets and cheered as the cars drove through.

We found a small place with outdoor seating in the centre square. A note to self, just because there are a lot of people in a place does
not always mean that is has good food. This was one of those times, at least for my dish, which tasted like Salt Tacos with a little side of shrimp. In an attempt to redeem the night from my soured mood (I'm an Ordway afterall, if not fed we tend to get a
little cranky... ) we found a place that we hoped would be entertaining. Our choices were limited since most places were empty, but this one had loud music and a friendly bar tender. After a few tequila shots and Mai Tai and Loco Coco drinks I was back and ready to party. So was a group from Indiana and two locals named Poco and Hugo, who we befriended. After lots of embarrassing dancing and some bongo playing by moi we decided to call it a night.
