Stopping for a quick pose as we get ready to board our ship

Around 5:00pm it was time to dry up and take the last 10 minute ride of the loop around the island, back to Cozumel to drop off the Jeep and still allow us some time to shop and fish. Rhonda and I spent the best part of the hour rushing around the many shops looking for those "just right" souvenirs. Wendy was running out of steam and decided to head back to the ship while Gary headed to the pier to try his hand at fishing. After Rhonda and I finished shopping and started back to the ship to board by 6:30pm, we saw Gary and went down to see how he made out. He was quite excited about his big catch, as it was a large fish that took out quite a bit of line and required about 5 minutes of fighting to get him in. Gary said the the tip of the light pole he was using was bent down and around to his hands. What a great way to end the day in Mexico!

We boarded our ship, Voyager of the Seas, and had a little down time before getting dressed for dinner. At 7:00pm around dusk, we pulled away from Cozumel along with four other cruise ships just in front of us. I played around with some longer exposure times with the digital camera. Not bad, I can only get better! Tonights dinner menu was great again with many choices. Rhonda had a steak with the garlic potatoes (Yes! they are the best.) and the rest of us had lobster tails (and seconds!) with rice and veggies. These were not Atlantic lobster, and had a slightly different texture and taste, but were excellent none the less! :P Mmmmm good! After dinner and our busy day, we checked out a few of the on-board shops, checked our e-mail and decided to retire for the night. tomorrow will be our last day at sea, and still so many things yet to do... ice skating, the inline skating track, mini golf, another crack at the rock wall, some more sun; so many choices! Hope you all had a great day, we sure did! We miss and love you Chandler and Connor, can't wait to see you soon! Affirmative.

Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, the full word on the building behind us was "DRUGSTORE"! :)
