Days 8 & 9 Cozumel and Coming Home

Allen and I went to Cozumel on our last day in Playa, which is a 30-minute ferry ride away. After some "discussion" about whether to rent a moped and snorkel on our own or take a snorkeling tour on a boat, we decided to rent a moped. After getting turned away at a couple of spots, we went to the Corona beach and put our stuff on a table. We snorkeled and saw a lot of fish, and when we went to leave the waiter wanted $4 because we weren't ordering anything. Allen had a heated discussion with him--as heated as you can get when you don't understand each other's language. There was something about him calling la policia, I think. Anyway, we just kept packing up and he followed us up to the moped and we sped off! We found a couple more places that were less hostile and saw some pretty coral and fish, nothing cool like the sea turtle we saw in Hawaii though. Oh, and I got about 4 jellyfish stings, only one left a mark. Here are a few pics--the underwater camera didn't pick up color very well though.
