Costa Maya, Mexico
We were in Costa Maya a few years ago on another cruise. It was like a month after a hurricane so it pretty much was in a shambles. This time was completely different. You walk down the pier into a shopping area. Basically the same stores as most ports. But intermingled with the jewlery, cigar and liquor stores are stores to get local products. The girls got little bracelets with their names on them. Also the girls got there hair braided. That solved the problem of having to do their hair the rest of winter break.
My mother bought the boys little copper rings with their initials on them. Absolutely adorable. After that we went around the corner and found out that Senor Frog's & Carlos and Charlies had a big pool inbetween them for people to swim in. Of course we had gotten off the ship to do some shopping not swim, so Corey went back to get them bathing suits. While she was getting them I let them splash around in their clothes. So that by the time she got back the bathing suits were there dry outfits to go back to the ship.
Everyone was getting thirsty so Corey got me and her a drink from Senor Frogs. I think it was called Senor Frog's Special or something like that. It was apparently the mixed drink original something. Not really sure. All I know is that it came in this yard tall glass. It's been so long since I had anything to drink that I couldn't really taste anything in it. It kinda tasted like a smoothie only better. Unfortauntely I was playing with the kids and didn't really pay attention to how fast I was drinking it. I finished it in about 5 or 10 minutes. After that I decided to see what I had just drank. Apparently it was pineapply juice, orange juice, ice, 2 shots of rum, 2 shots of vodka, and 2 shots of tequila. I'd just downed 6 shots in about 10 minutes without even realizing it. Needless to say that rest of the day was pretty good. And I kept the yard glass as a souvenir.
