Dinner in Cozumel Anyone?

Cozumel!


Um, let's see mis amigos, since I’ve been slacking so much, I’m having to go back into mi cabeza to remember the details of my rather amazing summer. Here’s two more things to add to my list of firsts: visiting Cozumel and deep-sea fishing.

After arriving for the fist time ever in Cozumel, via a big ferryboat complete with a live Mexican/American Rock/oldies band, we checked into an old, somewhat questionable hotel for three lazy days of R & R.

All I have to say is Aye Carumba! Next time, we need to phone ahead and warn that tiny little Mexican island before we get there since I think we ate every last big of tasty Mexican cuisine we could find. I’ll have to consider sending a donation to the island now that we’ve depleted their food supply.

Other than eating and more eating, I went fishing all day on a chartered boat in the crystal waters off the coast of Cozumel with two amazing tour guides and four of the greatest friends a girl can have. I have to admit; I was worried when Cathy and Kimi both got seasick on the way to out to sea. That’s okay though because after Cathy caught the first big tuna fish, and the tour guide cut it up right on the boat and made quesadillas and the freshest ceviche we’ve ever had, all was right with the world.

While on the boat I caught a big tuna fish myself. It was actually kind of tough because I have the arm muscles of a gold fish lacking oxygen. I still did it, yeah me! Even better was watching Kimi reeling in her big tuna that got half eaten by a shark. Half shark eaten fish? - Two thumbs up!

Barak, our very interesting and well-traveled tour guide/owner cut up our fish (and a half) and handed it to us in a plastic bag. Lucky, for us, Barak is friends with the owner of a restaurant of a place called Kinta. After going back to the hotel, taking a nap, and getting all prettied up, grabbed our bag of freshly caught fish and walked through the town square for a nice dinner.

As for the restaurant; what a complete surprise it turned out to be! Hidden in one of the dark side streets of Cozumel is the hippest restaurant anyone could ever find. We handed the owner, Kris, our fresh fish and he cooked it up for us. Suh-weet! We also ordered tons of different dishes and deserts too. O mis amigos, believe you me, when I say that each dish was better than the next.

If you go to Cozumel, you HAVE to go eat at Kinta. I'm sure I will find my way back there someday.

Kinta
Address: Ave 5 entre Calle 2 & 4, Cozumel, Mexico
Phone: 987 869 0544

Also be sure to take the zip-lining tours through the jungle. It's so much fun slamming into the tour guide when you haven't figured out the braking system yet. Two thumbs up!
