The past vs. the present: I still remember my first visit to Cozumel. What impressed me most was its people. The native Mayan people are friendly and warm. The traditional Mayan dress shown in this picture is seldom seen these days except during folkloric dances held in various places throughout the island. Also, today's Cozumeleño is a little more non traditional!!.....

Cozumel Carnival! Carnival 2011 was a blast as usual! There were tons of great costumes, dancing, food, drinks, floats and fun!! This photo was taken of one of the locals that participated in 2008. Our Cozumel Carnival page has the latest photos of this years event on it. If you want to see a video of this years Carnival you will find it on our Carnival page. Make sure to come and enjoy the islands best party of the year next year.

Downtown: As you can see downtown has a very special beauty all its own. It sure has changed since my first visit! The sleepy little fishing village of the past has been replaced by a newer more diversified vacation destination. Oh well; the price of "progress!" |

The Town Square on Sunday Night:
Don't let the first picture without people fool you. Every Sunday night around 8:00 p.m. it gets packed with locals and tourists alike, dancing to the live band that plays downtown! I remember the first time I heard them (around 26 years ago). They weren't that good but we sure had fun. Well, they've gotten much better and the fun is still the same! |

Hey! What about that things to do list I promised??!! |
I have to admit I do get a little sentimental about tradition; but we'll move on. |

The first thought that comes to mind when I'm on vacation is doing absolutely nothing. After all, I've just been on an airplane, a car, packing and wrapping up at work so I can get away! I can think of no better place to start unwinding then Passion Island; if you want to experience mother nature at her finest. It is one of the newest activity to make the scene and is being written up all over the internet. It is about the hottest excursion on the island since sliced tortillas!! :-) Seriously, this is a must if you want to have the most amazing tropical vacation on our island paradise. As always, just click on the photo to the left and it will take you there!

| The picture on the right was
taken by me on a little known spot on the southernmost tip of the
island (O.K. so it's a little blurry; that's because it was taken in
1987!). My amigo Gillermo and friend
Christine went there to spend the day and eat some fresh fruits and
fish. We never saw anyone the whole
day! You can still experience the remote side of Cozumel on the windward side of the island.
