My neck has a kink. It has been there for years. So when I know I am going to Costa Maya I am a very happy man. For the low price of $20 you get a fantastic full body massage from a strong woman with beefy arms. I know I have mentioned this before and I will surely blog about it again.
For some reason I woke up this morning at 5:53am. Serves me right for sleeping 13 hours yesterday. So after breakfast I decided to get off the ship and walk around the beach and take some pictures. There were no tourists on the beach when I arrived; just the locals raking the beach and cleaning it up. I saw one guy sleeping in a hammock and had to guess that is where he lives. It always make me feel sad when I see someone who is homeless... at least he has never had to sleep out in the snow.
There are a few buildings going up along the main road in Costa Maya. Having worked in the construction industry a number of years ago I can tell you any Canadian Safety Inspector would shit a brick. No hard hat or steel toed work boots to be found on the site; just base ball caps, sandals and crocks.
The first tourists I saw on the beach were red necks. They are easy to spot, they are either wearing jeans or have a huge belt buckle on the belt that is holding up their denim shorts. The son was complaining to his Mom, “I can’t drink when it is this windy”. That is a serious defect.
On my way back to the ship I saw a couple of soldiers walking through the crowd of people, one of them carrying a M-16A1 assault rifle. I was pleased to see that he did have his safety on.
