This is my third time through Cozumel this spring. The nice young man at the Beach Bar (across the street from Paprika) pointed out that he has outlets beneath one counter so that I could sit comfortably and not run on battery power. Handed me a diet coke and said he would check on me in an hour…..

Since I am not a shopper, going to all the stores holds exactly no appeal to me at all.

Instead, I can try a local beer, eat quesadillas

and relax talking underwater photography with a local man who makes his living from videoing people learning how to scuba dive.

It also means that I can ignore all the bandwidth issues that start when everyone in the world finds this lovely cool place and gets in on the wifi. Not uploading photos – it doesn’t make a whole lot of difference to me.

Tomorrow is Grand Cayman and the day after is Falmouth. Since I don’t have a board call this time – I am joining some friends for a trip to Dunn’s River Falls (just in case it has changed from when George and I visited it in 1980 with 13 month old Shana in a back carrier).
