Cosumel, Mexico

On our Disney cruise we got the chance to go to two stops. The one I am going to be talking about today is Cosumel, Mexico. This town is basically centered around turists and cruise ships. Everyone who lives there makes money off of us. So please sit back and enjoy my blog!

On the cruise ship we were originally going to Kayak but it was too windy so that got canceled. Luckily, there was another option we could do which was horse back riding. We met up with a group of 5 other people. Once we were all together we got off the ship we were greated by a man who sent us to a bus that took us to the Cozumel Concierge.  The bus ride was an hour and a half long and it was sort of senic. Most of the time it was just rainforrest which was a bummer.

Once we got off the bus we met with our horseback riding guide. He told us that we could walk around the ranch for a little bit then go horseback riding. They gave us free drink coupons for the fountain drinks offered. The ranch was a tourist attraction with a lot of animals. It had 2 shops and a beverage station. The animals were actually very interesting. One animal that really caught my attention were the bald dogs. I had never seen a bald dog until that day so that was a super cool experience.

After a long time of waiting we got to ride the horses. We got paired up with the hoses based on what our experience level was even though we wouldn't be doing anything extreme. I got paired with a advanced level horse who wasn't very hard to handle. Our guide told us that the person who founded. The first few ruins we saw while on the ride were real and as we got to the end of the trail the ruins were fake. The most interesting part of the tour was when we got to see the Myan hideouts and go inside of them. These hideouts were underground for hiding and were also used for gatherings.

When we got back we got to use our free drink coupons and sat for another 30 minutes. Finally, the bus driver came to get us and drove us all back to the ship. In all I would say this trip was fun but not very memorable. I would recommend doing it if you are a first time horse back rider or would like to see a few Myan ruins.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks blog on Cosumel, Mexico.  Look out tomorrow for my next blog on Castaway Cay, Disney's private island! Thanks for reading and have safe travels where ever you go!

The Key Lime Pie Challenge

On the second day we were in The Florida Keys I decided to do the key lime pie challenge. This is a challenge I made up where you have to try a key lime pie in a different way at every restaurant we go to. This was really fun and I got to try so many different key lime pies like, key lime pie to go, key lime pie on a stick, and even fried key lime pie! I hope you enjoy this blog and I hope this sparks an intrest for you to try something new!

The first key lime pie we had on the first day was in Islamorada Key at a restaurant called, Islamorada Fish Company. We had a literal key lime pie which was so good. It was freshly made and right out of the oven. The pie also had whipped cream on the top of it and a fresh key lime. It had to be one of my favorites that we had while in the keys.

The second pie we had was in Marathon Key at Burdines Waterfront. This pie was a fried key lime pie. Someone at the restaurant actually told us that they herd someone drove 60 miles to eat the fried key lime pie. It was a cinnamon tortilla wrapped around a key lime pie and fried. They drizzled some sort of sauce over it as well. The end result was really good. Although I do not like cinnamon and didn't get to try the crust, my mom said it was amazing.

In Key West we got to try key lime pie to go. They sold it at an ice cream parlor right next to our hotel. It was actually really good. The pie looked like a freshly made key lime pie, but from a ice cream parlor.

The last key lime pie we had was a key lime pie on a stick. It was a really cool experience to try. The key lime pie on a stick felt like a popsicle. I sort of just liked it until the chocolate melted and I got to the acual pie part. This was a really good key lime pie. It was so good and there was actually crust on it.

Thank you so much for reading my blog! I hope you do a challenge like this one in the future or even the same one.  Comment below if you want to or have tried a pie similar to one that I have tried! Have a safe flight where ever you go and try something new!
