Johnny Around Town

---

After Johnny's scuba school, we are starving so we take him to La Choza for lunch which is Ian's favorite Mexican restaurant downtown in San Miguel. It's busy with local Mexicans as usual. We like the atmosphere, it's very clean and comfortable for a large restaurant, nicely decorated. The food is always good and service is great. Ian and John both have chicken fajitas which are delicious but massive. Ian eats so much that he isn't feeling very good afterward. I have a house salad and share a couple of small fajitas so I feel great.

We see something going on with the policia and a vehicle across the street as we leave, the police carry some very big guns around here! We know it's better to just keep walking and mind our own business.

The streets and restaurants are getting decorated for the upcoming carnival which will be a large celebration at the end of February. Painted masks are a popular theme. We'll be gone home by then. It's funny but at this point we've been here for so long it almost feels like we live here in a way, we are enjoying every minute and we love Cozumel, but we are also ready to go home back to our regular life.

We cut through Punta Langosta shopping mall which is very quiet since there are no cruise ships in this port today. We see some funny T-shirts, we don't buy them, just take pictures.

We take Johnny to my favorite grocery store, the Super Mega, to show him around and pick up a few things. Then we head back to the condo to hang around the pool and visit with our neighbors. Elton, Jodie and their six kids are there so we throw some pesos in the pool and let the kids dive for them. Cheap entertainment.

Scotty Ocean drops by for a few drinks after sunset as it's his last night here, he heads back to his home in the morning. That will be us in a very few days and I'm sure once we get there, we'll feel the cold and wish we were still here!
