Evening in San Miguel
Now I’d like to tell about my evening visit to Mayan land. So, I went out from my ship. Sunset was burning on the western part of sky. Small stumpy Mexican with passanger bysicle was standing on the pier. His eyes were staring at me with greediness, but then gone out. Yes, I wasn’t his customer, but was going to visit Chinese restaurant. A bit later my Indonezian friends went out, and we gone to the city, tired after work.
Got up with eskalator, we found ourself on the long terrace with stores, fashion shops and other entertainment places.
Gallery of eastern carpets “Istanbul”
It was easy to feel the end of working day, tradesmen were counting cash and one of them said: “Drop your shit, better buy something!”, when he saw a camera in my hands. After half of round, terrace smoothly landed to the sea-front street. We followed along her. Dusk became darker and dark-blue color of the sky our vessel was huge and impressive, reminding giant sea ling in the lights.

Coffee shop “Starbucks”
Further on our way Starbucks, McDonalds, Hard Rock Cafe and other famous brands were shining. After few blocks we turned right and ascended to the second floor. Name of restaurant was “Сhi”. It had two halls: bigger one – inside and smaller one – outside. There was no heat anymore and we chose fresh air.
Open hall of Chinese restaurant “Chi”
Mexican woman in good English offered menu. There were not any Chinese at all and food assortment seemed international. Indonezians orientated themselves straight, and, after short meeting, ordered a lot of rice and plenty different courses, such as omelet with fruits, fried pork with vegetables and many other things, mysterious for white human being. Each of them added a big spoon of something similar to ketchup, but, certainly, much more spicy.
Chinese food
Your faithful friend ordered Caribbean salad – it was two small spits with shrimps, pieces of pineapple and something else. I fed myself very fast, but my companions ate rice not less than one hour. I wanted beer so I ordered a bottle. Sincerely, very it was unusual taste. To the question regarding drinks my fellow Indonezians ensured me, that they don’t feel any need for that and preferred mango dessert. For orders sake I tried strawberry icecream and I liked it so much.
Guys were looking very happy after their eastern food and made jokes with me that there were some cockroaches in the rice.
Welcome to “Senior Frog”
Town was falling asleep. It was calm, only in the bar “Senior Frog”, focus of the American youth’s fun was in progress. On the sidewalk I almost runed down huge cockroach, as a small finger long, and very fast. Unintentionally I remembered about rice. Than I saw a model of shark, everyone could climb inside and take a picture like you are becoming visible from her mouth.
Cozumel is a fabolous resort. Not expensive as per American level, exotic enough, but not too much to be afraid for your own life, like in other countries of this region.
Fun in progress
