TimesToCome

We stopped at Cozumel, Mexico on our cruise this week. The island is tiny and most of it is geared to tourist entertainment: shopping, drinking, snorkeling, swimming. But I love to wander around cities and explore so that’s what we did.

We made a break from the tourist area down an alley and headed north. The first 3 or so miles we walked we had a line of taxis parked along the street. There were hundreds of them all lined up to pick up tourists from the cruise ship ports.

Eventually we found a road leading inland away from the tourist area. The housing is a mix of old, new, wealthy and poor as you can see in the photos. Everywhere there were dogs, more than a few came out to chase us off. Nowhere did I see a cat.

The locals all get around on foot, bike and scooter. You’ll see young children, mom and dad all piled up on a single scooter.

Cozumel was originally a Mayan settlement and the island was a religious site. Women who were pregnant or hoping to become pregnant traveled to the island to pray to Ix Chel the goddess of the moon, pregnancy and childbirth.

Unhappy about the bailout for billionaires? Our only option is to throw them all out and start over.
