On Monday, December 1, 2008 the ship docked at Cozumel, Mexico. We had breakfast then we went into Cozumel and took a tour around the island. First our tour guide stopped at the Mayan Ruins so we could walk around for 30 minutes and explore. Before we entered we had to pay to see the Mayan Ruins, then we started our hike. There was lots of birds, butterflies and nature everywhere. Although, no animal could stay in sight long enough for a picture except a hummingbird that I took a picture of (above.) But we still had a good time exploring all the ancient Ruins that were build by Mayan Cultures. Although some of them seemed pointless like large, deep holes without signs beside them to explain the purpose of them. Anyway, our grandparents were getting tired so I quickly took some pictures of flowers and we walked back to the tour van. Next he took us to a place which was like a plaza or something. As we walked in on the stepping stones, a 10 foot snake was there to greet us! Mom of course was frightened so she left but they asked if I wanted to pet their iguana. I did, although I may have regretted it as I forgot to wash my hands after. I wanted to take a picture of all their animals but they wanted about $10.00 for a single picture! So mom pretended to take a picture of us but she was trying to take a picture of the snake. They caught her and moved the snake. Then we went down to have some fun at the beach but salt was splashing on my camera. Luckily it didn't damage it, mom bought us some fries and we left. On our way to the tour van we saw some grackles and a crab which I got a picture of, it quickly ran away so everyone got back in the van and he drove us to the ship and we just relaxed for the rest of the day.

I would not be happy to meet a 10 foot snake. I like your hummingbird picture. Was it very hot there?
