Cozumel Mexico

Cozumel is a large island of Mexico located on its  east coast near the Yucatan Peninsula

Miles of empty beaches to be had for anyone with a car rental 

                                                                                                                                               
The best way to see this piece of paradise?......my suggestion is a rental and don't be scared to haggle price as the locals enjoy the challenge lol,   For example i picked up a Smart Car for $60.00 tx in with unlimited mileage ( the check oil light flashing at me for the entire drive was an added bonus  hahahahaha)

 So off  i went to the middle of the this sub continental  piece of  land ( which isn't far, as it is only 16km (9.9mi) wide and 48 kms (30mi) long, plus very flat and made up mostly of limestone) to find San Gervasio and the Mayan Ruins with its temples for the Moon Goddess of Ix (meaning female) Chel.(white faced),  she (Ixchel) was also associated with sex, childbirth, disease, beekeeping, planting, water, writing and weaving.    Now do not be disappointed once to the site as these monuments are not huge, but very interesting with

its history and scope of importance to the Mayan culture. As i leave the area i cant help but think how over the 2500 years of Mayan Civilization ( that includes present day Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador and of course the Southeastern part of Mexico) how much history i just walked through. Ok, i jump in the car and  head towards the shore and Cozumel's amazing beaches. Now a cool feature they have here is you can drive on a lane of pavement  (like a golf course

track)  instead of the highway as you motor down gawking at natures best, plus if you like to stop at some of the local surf shops and  maybe have a cold one tehee.  As i return my car in the small town of San Miguel  ( population 70,000+) do walk around and look beyond the usual tourist stores to soak in the heritage of the locals and go up some of the side streets to see some great buildings and views of the Caribbean Sea.  In closing, well worth the visit if you ever get to this part of the world and take in the importance of the Mayan Era and of course the natural beauty of the island.
