Sundays are our favorite day here because it is so much less busy as no cruise ships come into port. When you think about it, we see between 4 and 7 ships each day, so if each ship has an average of even 3,000 people as a modest count, that's 12,000 - 21,000 people visiting here for the day everyday. No wonder they need over 600 taxis and every place gets so packed! Most mornings by time we get up, there are already a couple of ships here, they generally arrive very early, then leave around dinner although some will stay until midnight. There are two ports (International Port and Puerto Maya) that hold four ships right near our condo so we can watch those ships come and go, then another port downtown that holds two or three boats at Punta Langosta.

Gord and Marty pack up and head out to Cancun. Their six day visit has flown by. Ian and I haven't been doing much walking since they've been here so we take a nice walk downtown it's nice and cool for a change, most of the businesses and restaurants are closed on Sunday to give people their one day off. We walk around downtown for a while then we stop for lunch at Rock N Java, a little local coffee shop downtown which we visited once before and thought was very good. We are both craving hamburgers since the ground beef we have bought so far has been very dry. Our burgers are good and juicy and very large. I surprize myself by eating the whole thing! I wonder if my jeans are still going to fit when we need to go home. The owner of the Rock N Java is a big supporter of the Human Society, they have shelves of used pocket books for sale for $5 each, the proceeds of which go to the Human Society. We will definitely come back to buy some of their books once we run out and donate the ones we are finished with. We hit Super Mega to restock up our groceries, its not very busy today which is nice, then we catch a cab back to the condo.

Its pretty much cloudy but we hit the pool for a swim anyway. Our condo is now completely full, every suite is rented so there are lots of new people here for us yet to meet.
