March 10, 2015 - Cozumel Bus Tour of the Island, Art Museum, Chocolate Factory, Tequila/Black Coral Shops, and Beach

March 9th was a sea day, so no more photos to show from that day. On Cozumel we took a bus tour around the island, seeing mostly tourist traps, but we did have a very nice guide named Patricio. We dubbed him "Mayan Walter" because his personality reminded us so much of Grandpa Walter:

I liked these guys:

There were several paintings made up of smaller images...you have to look closely:
