Hope everyone is doing well.

Wow, it sure looks like you had a great time! Beautiful pictures!

Wonderful pics. I am so glad you had such a wonderful vacation. I am sure it was tiring but you are really looking good.
Hugs, Joyce In NC

Dear Donna; Where is Playcar and what is the name of your bar in the photo? My husband and I love Mexico and we go to Mayan Riviera, about 30 mins. south of Cancun airport. Would love to hear more about the holiday. Details please. You look like you had the best time.

Weezie,
Playa Car is near Playa del Carmen. A 5$ and 5-10 min cab ride from the hotel to where you pick up the Ferry to go over to Cozumel. We rented a jeep in Cozumel and went to the other side of the island.

Pretty barren over there except for forest, A Tequilla factory (where you can do taste testing, we passed on that)a Light House and A few tiki beach bars for tourists and then we found the best. It is called Coconuts. It was the best thing about our trip. Just a small little sign up front then you go up these stone steps to the huge tiki bar on the hill with a great view of the water. If there was a real Margaritaville (not the chain but an actual place that really gives you the island feel, this is it) The atmosphere is perfect, It even has a few hammocks along the edge of the bar in case you have a few two many and need to sleep it off.
It looks like it could get pretty routy when it is full but there was only a few tables when we there and it was pouring down rain.
Donna

NICE!
