1998 April: Cozumel, Chitzen Itza

Cozumel is a world famous island off the coast of Mexico near Cuba. It is a favorite vacation spot for visitors from around the globe. The island is about 30 miles long and about 10 miles wide. It is Mexico's third largest island. Most of the town's population (about 77,000) lives in the town of San Miguel. We took a week long vacation in Cozumel one summer and took a one-day visit via plane to Chichén Itzá, a wonderful old Mayan ruin of considerable size. We also visited San Miguel one night to get a taste of what the locals did and it was party city! We ate, and looked, and bought some items and had a fantastic time.
