Our ship, the Celebrity Constellation

COZUMEL, MEXICO

We spent a couple of hours walking the tourist section of Cozumel. We have been here many times so no need to go into the city or any water sports. We did a little bit of shopping. Ended up at Senor Frog where we watched the insanity that is common to the venue. Music, drunk tourists, excellent margs, and much more. We got full on chips and guac so no big meal. However, the margs were 28 ounces!!
