Docking At Cozimel

Our ship docked for a day at Cozimel. This is a small island off Mexico. We were advised to stay on the main street. We thought it was for our safety; however, I soon realized it was because of the jewelry merchants who were waiting for us on that street. They stood outside their stores begging and pleading for us to come in. There were a couple of small restaurants. The rest of the street was filled with jewelry stores.....one after another!
