Aztec Calendar wood inlay

Take a close look, and you’ll see this is hand made wood inlay. I can’t image how long it took to make this Aztec Calendar.

Maya or Aztec Calendar

I found this Maya - Aztec calendar in one of the shops in Cozumel, it must have been over 5 feet tall.

Cozumel Picture

This picture was taken from the highest spot on Cozumel. I’m not sure this was even 40 feet off the beach, but it is a highlight of any tour on Cozumel.

Carnival Sensation and Dive Tanks

This picture was taken off the docks in Cozumel. I was trying to be creative including the 2 subjects (the ships; Carnival & Royal Caribbean and the dive tanks) together.

Room with a View ClubMed style

What a great way to wake up in the morning, that to experience a Caribbean sun rise and be able to wake out right to the beach.

This is one if the deluxe rooms that come with some extras.

Relaxing ClubMed style

This was the day I was going to play tennis, bike into town & lighthouse and snorkel.

Well it turned out to be a great day to just relax and enjoy doing nothing. I was looking for something to photograph to show what I was doing and the beach umbrella against the blue sky looked like the best pic. Picture taken at Clubmed Columbus Isle, Bahamas.

Dive boat ClubMed

Some say this is the clearest water in the world.

The snorkeling dive is about 15 minutes out with about 45 minutes of snorkeling.

There are 3 spots to snorkel at Clubmed Columbus Isle, Bahamas. We went to a ship wreak that ran rum out of Cuba in the 1890s, I think.
