Some of these pics are from Capitan Dulche, the new Pirate Museum/event venue on Isla Mujeres. It is located on the West side of the island. It's a very cool place with a lot of old sea artifacts, a giant pirate ship/bar and a private beach. We had a tasty lunch there with friends.
 |
| The Pirate Ship is surrounded by a bar and the entire platform will (supposedly) turn slowly. We could see the mechanism in the decking and it looked pretty impressive. |
 |
| A hill of corn grinding stones. There were lots of 'Children of the Corn' jokes because it looks a little creepy, like a graveyard. Cool, tho! |
 |
| Next door the Shell house, I noticed this ancient bus or rv? It looks like something from Planet of the Apes or some sci fi movie |

| Beautiful Beach Day!!! |
 |
| There were about six or seven college age girls sitting to our left on the beach that day. They were having a good time and they really, really liked taking pics. :) After a while, a group of three or four college age boys sat down on our right, so we were the barrier between the raging hormones. |
 |
| The boys went out about 15 feet into the ocean and sat down, positioning themselves like an audience for the girls. One of the girls (the brazen one with long curly hair) strutted her stuff out into the ocean and put on a fantastic show for the boys, inspecting her bikini, tan lines, or whatever. She was joined by one of the other girls. Then, POOF, the girls left! Nicely played, Girls! |

| The grounds at Capitan Dulce Museum. Look at that green grass! |

| Our favorite beach area |
 |
| On our return ferry (The evil one, as opposed to the good one that brings us to the island) they unloaded a man from an ambulance and wheeled him onto the ferry. The gurney stayed parked in the aisle between the rows of seats down inside the ferry. The guy didn't look good at all. :( |

| There has never been a more beautiful and perfect day on the island |

Love ALL of it Jana, but I'm particularly interested in that museum. I think it's next to Mar y Sol. We stayed there in 2008 and the new dock had just been constructed and work was continuing on a pavillion up the hill from the grassy area. We could not figure out what was being built! I thought maybe a rock star with a passion for nautical antiques was building a compound. Javi told us he thought it was a museum. Now we know! We'll have to check it out on our upcoming trip! Gorgeous photos!
I did not realize Carl was on Isla in Sept. in a speedo !!!!!!
Frank, too funny! LMAO!
Great photos! I like the new design of the blog--the randomness of the placement of photos is interesting
