Carnaval: Before the Craziness Begins

Rides are set up

Marquesitas with flag colored garbage can

Before the craziness begins, before the maddening crowds and the deafening music, before the smells of marquesitas and spilled beer, the Cozumel Palacio area is pretty quiet this morning. It is almost like the night before Christmas, as we all await what is to become.

I walked around for thirty minutes with the sun shining bright and a nice cool breeze to take a few shots. Rides are set up. Bumper boats are ready. The air is festive. 

Bumper boats not cars

Some other fun rides are waiting, including the Tea Pot ride. May the craziness begin!
