Everything looked good minus the crabs😀. 
 

I never even heard of this place before. Good to know about it. 

It was really good. And not very expensive. Margaritas x 2 beer x 2 plus chips and guacamole and 6 tacos was $41 us.

I hear everything is better without  the crabs.

Punta Sur is unbelievable. So beautiful. Kind of reminds me of the lighthouse area (Morreo)  of Puerto Rico. And then something happened that I never thought I’d see… 

[MeganGC1983]

A sea turtle orgy was going on. We saw at least 2 dozen sea turtles getting it on. Luis says this is the very beginning of the season and they lay their eggs at the first beach we went to. Who knew?!

What is tajin?

[MeganGC1983]

So we watched the turtles for awhile, probably too long. Then walked back and shopped a little. Got our kids some shirts and went back to the dock. Luis was a 5 star tour guide. Really liked him. If you go to Isla and want a tour driver, look up Isla Mujeres Robby and ask for Luis. 
the best news is they opened up for snorkeling. The bad news was it rocked my world. Worst waves I’ve ever attempted to snorkel in. I saw some fish and I was over it. Husband kept going. He probably snorkeled for 30ish minutes and the boat went back to the port in Cancun and to William to bring us back to PH.

It’s a Mexican mix of ground chili, sea salt, and dehydrated lime juice. It’s pretty tasty. I like it sometimes around the rim of a Margarita instead of salt.

So we got back to PH. And went to our reservation at the Sunset Steak house. Menu and welcome drink.

They also lay eggs on the east side of Cozumel. That’s why they don’t have electricity. The lights can distract the turtles and they just dump their eggs in the ocean. And they restrict access because a lot of countries have problems with people stealing turtle eggs.  They can even do it while the turtle is laying the eggs and she won’t know. She’ll cover up an empty hole and not even know it.

[MeganGC1983]

Ordered French onion soup, Cesar salad and NY strips with potato and onion rings. Mine was over cooked. Husband really liked his. He really liked that Cesar salad as well. Sorry the picture is so blurry. I liked the welcome drink the best. Tasted like a blue Gatorade. I think I was still pretty full from Isla tacos and my churro.

That seems sad.

Luis said they lay 150 eggs each year or whatever. I think with 150, I might just dump them too.

How was your potato?

[MeganGC1983]

Dessert options were creme brûlée or cheesecake. We tried both. Neither were great. This whole meal made me miss Carnival. I wanted their French onion soup and their creme brûlée.

It was actually pretty good. Cooked enough and I liked the sour cream. Onion rings were good too. I actually ate all of them.

If you haven’t had JiJis creme brûlée you gotta try it. Blows the MDR away.

Would you say it’s similar to this? Which, ironically, I just picked up at Trader Joe’s today.....

@blarko  what did you purchase it to use for?  Cooking or Margaritas?  @sid_9169  and C-19 has inspired me to cook more, so looking for ideas.  😁

My intention is to rim the glass on a margarita.  But i will find other uses for it as well. I love seasonings and experimenting with them on and in food.

I would recommend it on fruit.
