Today we stopped in Costa Maya Mexico
When you get off the cruise ship at each port there are many people standing around with vans and buses and they try to get you to hire them for the day. There is a lot of bargaining and sometimes anger if one business gives a lower bid than another. That happened today, but we were able to get a good deal on a van, driver, and snorkeling for the day, and get out of there before the other guy could freak out too bad.
We took a couple of boats out on the ocean. The water was very choppy and it took a lot of energy to swim against the big waves. We wore out pretty quickly, but we saw a lot of beautiful ocean life.
I also braved underwater pictures again. On the last cruise I used an underwater case and it leaked. I decided to try again and it worked just fine.
Snorkels are really flattering.
These conch shells were all over the ocean floor.
Our friend Corey is not afraid of anything and is a master snorkeler. He dived down to the ocean floor and found all kinds of things. He was also able to take some cool pictures of this sting ray because he dived down close.

After snorkeling we walked down the beach to find somewhere to have lunch. I had to stop at the Canadian flag, even though we were in Mexico.
During lunch a 14 year old kid accidentally drove a golf cart into another table of people having lunch. No one was hurt, but everyone was a bit shaken up.
This guy makes bracelets with names on them right in front of you. We had him do our kids names.
Today was an Elephant
