Since this was our 4th time to Cozumel, we decided to shop a little and get to see some of the island.  We stopped at Fat Tuesday's for a quick drink, when one of the locals told my husband that he could get that same HUGE Sol for $2 instead of $8 at the local 7-11 just across the street. (Go to the taxi terminal area, and cross the street to find the 7-11 store.)  On our way out of the taxi terminal area, we found a horse drawn carriage.  Pedro was the driver and the white horse (with a pink ribbon in her hair) was named Speedy.  He told us a 1 hour tour would cost $55. WOW -- almost 4 hours later he returned us to the pier.  (No, he didn't kidnap us.  We asked him to stop for pictures and the beach and he gladly did.  He said he had as much time as we did.)    He took us to two lighthouses, a marina, private beaches, excellent margarita stands (and more $3 Sol beers), street side shopping, the Navy base, the airport, the President of Cozumel's house, the Catholic church and cemetary, and through some of the streets of the common folk.  We felt very comfortable with him and never pressured.  At our 30 minute stop at the beach, he watered Speedy and even washed her off with water (It was about 90 dg.  I felt better knowing he took care of his animal.) We paid him $150 with a $20 tip and it was well worth it!!! 

The company name on the back of the carriage was VIVA MEXICO.  We saw several other carriages throughout the downtown area.  Another couple on board the Inspiration with us took a ride, but were only offered 1 hour for $50 (two people). 

Tell Pedro and Speedy we said Hey!
