| My fabulous sand castle. |
On the day we went to Cozumel, I noticed that the beach by the ferry looked like a nice beach and it wasn't too crowded. I told Nathan if we couldn't find anywhere else to go on Saturday, that I wouldn't mind going to this beach. It was fairly close to our hotel and easy to walk to. Our flight home was Sunday afternoon and we had found out from our tour guides that the LDS church was right around the corner from our hotel and Sacrament Meeting started at 8 a.m. We would leave our hotel at noon with check out at 11:30. We really wanted to go to church on Sunday and decided that we would need to pack everything we could on Saturday. We knew we wouldn't want to be gone all day and I didn't want to leave packing for Saturday night just in case we were too worn out and tired from the day or if we didn't get back to our hotel until late. Plus we decided that we didn't want to go too far away to do something. After going over all of our options, we decided that this beach would be the perfect thing to do.
We had a lazy morning, ate our breakfast of Zucharitas (Mexican Frosted Flakes) and La-la (Mexican brand of milk). Mexican Frosted Flakes were very different from what I'm used to and I think I prefer American Frosted Flakes. We packed up everything except for what we needed for the day, night, and morning. We covered meow-meow in sunblock and headed out for the beach. Meow-meow wasn't happy with getting himself covered in sunblock from head to toe.
After packing everything we could, we decided that we would walk to the beach instead of trying to catch a taxi. When we got down to the beach, we found these fresh fruit vendors and decided to have some fresh fruit......oh my word, it was delicious!! The pineapple was amazing. Meow-meow loved the fruit....
There was this weird archway to the beach.
We had a fabulous time on the beach. We found some nice beach chairs and relaxed. Meow-meow had fun in the sand. I was daring and ordered fish for lunch, which was pretty tasty. I wasn't daring enough to venture further than fish. Meow-meow went down for his nap and Nathan snuggled him and read his book. Meanwhile, I explored the beach.

| After Meow-meow fell alseep, I hit the beach. I found tons of broken shell parts and so I had to make a heart out of them. |
 |
| I love sun |
 |
| I love sand. |
 |
| And then I got an idea for a sand castle. |
 |
| Me and my creation |
 |
| This bird was my buddy. |
 |
| It wouldn't be a proper day at the beach without a tunnel. It's the tunnel of love. |
 |
| Barnacles? I have no clue but they were alive. |
 |
| I had to take a sad face picture. It was my last full day in Mexico. My last day to enjoy the beach. My last day to revel in the sun. The next day would take me back to the cold, who wouldn't be sad. |
It was a bit cloudy and looked like rain, but it was still a fabulously hot day. Literally thirty seconds after I got up from the sad face picture it started to rain. Nathan and I were both highly amused to hear people screaming and running for cover. The beach cleared FAST. And we both thought, "but wait, didn't you come to the beach to get wet?" It rained for about a minute or two and then went away. By that time it was eveningish and we were done playing on the beach. We walked along the shops but quickly gave up because we were accosted by store owners wanting us to buy buy buy. We walked back home to our hotel, showered off the sand, ordered in some dinner and finished packing everything we could.
