Isla De La Mujeres (Island of the Women)

Today we drove down to the dock, got on a ferry, and rode to Isla De La Mujeres (Island of the Women).


Carson and Andan got a couple cool hats before we got on the boat.


We enjoyed Mexican music and dancing on the boat ride to the island.


We got off the boat not really knowing what Isla De La Mujeres was all about...but we were excited to find out!


What was I thinking? ISLAND of the WOMEN. I should have known it would be all about shopping, shopping, and shopping some more! Kathy and Brennah loved it!


The highlight for boys and me was the food.


Sometimes the most unsuspecting hole in the wall restaurants have some of the best food! Believe it or not, Kathy said that this was the best burrito she had ever eaten! It had corn ...ask Kathy... It doesn't look like much but it was really yummy. It was served piping hot. It seemed as if it had been cooked on a frying pan for a few minutes to melt everything real good inside. It had corn and rice inside which was a surprise. But the flavor was the kicker. Besides garlic, I don't know what else it was seasoned with but it was the perfect combination.


The shrimp that I ordered was friend in butter and garlic. It was really yummy too.


The streets in Isla Del La Mujeres are almost all one-way streets. And, they're just big enough for a golf cart. So, we rented one and the boys and I tooled around town while Kathy and Brennah shopped the sales. We rode down to the beach and swam in the ocean. It was great fun.


We loaded all 7 of us up on the golf cart and drove to the other end of this 6 mile island to see the turtle hatchery.


The boys got to hold one of the turtles. They were pretty stoked about it.




We stopped at a road side stand and drank some refreshing coconut milk on the way back.
