Cozumel and Midnight Buffet!

Day 3

I had a restless night thanks to the noisy crew around us. Still thumpin' at 2:00 a.m.

Breakfast omlet had shrimp in it. YUM! Had to hit the Windjammer early since the chorus is singing this morning.

Chorus judging: 8:45 a.m. – warm-ups; 9:15 a.m. - judging. The judge was great with the kids & very complimentary to Mr. Farrah, too. Wants the kids to be more expressive with their faces & body language, but raved about their enunciation & breathing. Was very impressed with our chorus…especially our two basses (Ian & Kevin - the judge said they sang as one voice).

We were docking in Cozumel while the students were singing. Lots of vibrato, ha! I was impressed that the students could stand up with all the shaking that was going on as we docked. I was glad that I was sitting down let me tell you!

Cozumel – our tour guide’s name was Ruben. Toured the oldest Mayan High Priest Temple in all of Mexico; climbed a 1,000 meter rock on a beach on the south side of the island; shopped in San Miguel. I bought a replica Mayan statue after haggling the vendor down to my price. I didn't budge, and he gave in. I probably still paid too much, lol!

Cozumel is still so devastated from Hurricane Wilma's 60-hour visit last year - not one life was lost on Cozumel during that storm. Good time touring & Ruben was funny! He did try to hook us in an eatery in San Miguel that was not a very cool move. I’m pretty sure that Paula will complain to Royal Caribbean about that.

Tiger Shrimp & strawberry bisque for dinner, baby! The My Fair Lady Dining Room is opulent, and Nilesh and Rodolpho continue to impress me. Rodolpho remembered what everyone drank from the night before and brought us our drinks without having to ask what we wanted. WOW! I can’t remember my name, and he can remember my diet coke!

The magic & comedy of Levent was super. "Scissors Girl," 8 track, and view finder! Yeah, if you want to know more, you’ll just have to ask me.

Seas were rough during the evening, I was glad for motion sickness pills. (Little did I know that a tropical depression was forming south of us…more on that parenthetically later).

THE MIDNIGHT BUFFET! SPECTACULAR TO VIEW, AND DELICIOUS TO EAT!

Okay, so we stayed up extra late & we have to meet to go on our excursion in Belize at 7:30 a.m.! At least the noisy neighbors were quiet tonight.
