Bus to Playa Del Carmen 720 pesos. Rocky, rolly bus ride.
Playa Del Carmen, bought waterproof sunscreen and a Frida Kahlo bag. Took the ferry to Cozumel, Rented a car, drove around not getting much accomplished. We had shrimp and chicken quesadillas at Playa Rasta. They were very good. Had to drive back to town to get gas, $20 for half a tank. Visited El Cedral. Walked to a good bakery, had Mayan tacos and platanos fritos. Got ice cream bars on the way back from dinner. Had a major allergic reaction to the "pistachios" in Aaron's bar. Walked around town, we felt very comfortable here, but wished we had rented a scooter instead of a car.

Someone else's Coke bottle made for a nice shot
Me pretty much the whole trip

It was not uncommon to see entire families on scooters. Some towns required helmets, others didn't.
I have a severe tree nut allergy, but there are several nuts I can eat, pistachios being one of them. I discovered that I can eat them in the last 2 years or so, I had just never tried them previously assuming I would be allergic to them too. So I thought nothing of sharing Aaron's pistachio ice cream bar with him. But as we finished it, I realized there was some other nut in there as well, one that I was allergic to. I got the normal itchy throat and mouth. Then my throat started closing, so much that I couldn't take full breaths and I couldn't talk above a whisper. My face swelled, my eyes itched. It was awful, I woke up with a stomach ache and a sore throat from my experience. Luckily I don't go anywhere without an epi pen, and also luckily I've never needed to use it.
I'm posting my pictures on my photo site as I go...thankfully I got all my pictures in the correct folders tonight which should greatly speed up the process.
