Shopping and Tequila

---

Tuesday, January 12, 2010 - Cozumel, Mexico

Today’s tour was titled “Shopping and Tequila”. Now I ask you, what could be better?

We visited an open air museum which had models (scale of 1/50) of various Mayan Temples and important Mexico structures. No doubt hundreds of dollars and hours were devoted to creating this charming and informative tourist attraction. Apparently in the planning phase no one considered that the models also provided a sunny private spot for Iguana to sun. There he was, right on the stairway of a Mayan Temple (dwarfing the temple) just like something out of a horror movie.

During a visit to the “black coral jewelery” village I had a short visit with a local dog. It is pretty apparent that being a dog in Central America simply does not have the same cache as being a dog in Indian Wells. If one wants to be reincarnated as a domestic animal in Central America it would be better to be a fighting cock --- they are the highly regarded members of the animal family.
