The next day we got into Cozemel. We got up and it was raining. So we decided to take our time eating breakfast to see if the rain would go away. Well, it did begin to clear up, so we got off the ship and went up the pier into a little mall type area. Of course, there were lots of shops to shop in and this was the area you had to get a taxi to go the 3 miles into town. We went to Carlos and Charlie's bar for lunch. This place is a zoo when it gets busy. We laughed at all that was going on. This was before we got our hats. This was after. LOL!!! Aren't they the cutest things you ever did see? After lunch we went shopping. I got Rick a neat T shirt about being a fireman. The weather turned out great. As we were walking around the shops, we saw a mother with a young boy and girl. We asked her if we could give our balloon hats to her kids. She said yes. You should have seen the look on their faces when we put them on their heads. It was priceless. The little boy kept telling us thank you and he kept waving at us as we walked away. I didn't even think to get their pictures. Sorry. There were two Carnival ships docked with us. We watched one of them come into port. That was neat, since when we docked, we were still in bed. This was one of the many paintings and murals that were on the walls at every stairwell. Rick took a lot of movie pictures also. When we got back into Tampa, we stayed a few days with Jim and JoAnn. On Sat, we went to the dog track. We had never been to one before and we had fun. Part of the reason we had fun was we won some money!! We picked the daily double and then won 2 other races. We got back to our camper late Sat night and Sunday we spent all day inside. I never got out of my pj's. We are finally back on a somewhat normal schedule again.  Today, we went to lunch with Darlene and Dave Sutton (we met them in AZ last winter) and Buddy and Shelley. We went to the Jacaranda Hotel in Avon Park. This is owned by the college and the culinary students take care of the food. It was very good and the company was great. After lunch we went back to Dave and Darlene's and sat around for a few hours talking. It was a great way to spend the day. Our time here in Florida is coming to a close soon. In about 3 weeks, we will be heading to Mississippi to visit our son and his family. Then we head up north in April for cold weather. We are hoping for an early spring but I won't hold my breath. LOL!!! That's all for now.
