Hi midwestdvr. Some very nice shots. I also especially enjoyed the splendid toadfish.
It was good meeting you at La Choza. You should have taken some photos of the Scubaboard creatures there.

Thanks, everyone.

Harro10, yes, I wish I'd taken photos there too.

I love turtles. Fortunately, there's plenty of them in Cozumel.

Great shots! Thank you for taking me underwater today through your pictures. Glad you returned to Cozumel and found out how much you missed the place.

Thanks, scuba-girl, for the id.

@cozdreamer: can't wait to go back.

I was fortunate enough to schedule this trip during the last 2 days of the parade for the carnaval. I missed the first night as it was during the meetup at La Choza but I wasn't going to miss the last night of the parade. I went to the assembly area instead of sticking around the square. It was a good idea as the area around the square was jam packed with people.

As I was taking photos, I first thought that this was a kids' parade as I saw mostly kids at the assembly area. Well, I was wrong . Here are some snaps from the carnaval....

Getting ready...

Ouch!!!

Payasos....

The 3 amigos and the amiga....

Some señoritas and a señorito....

Couldn't get that guy to smile at all. He'd pose but just wouldn't smile. Might not have understood my mangle spanish
