#14 A day on the "Island"

Alton use to spend his days at the Camino Real Hotel out in the Hotel Zone, a while ago it was bought out and is now called "Dreams" He had it wired there, knew all the people working there got free towels had no problem coming and going. Now it's different, the guest wear bands on the rists and the security is tight. Alton now decided to spend time over at "Isla Mujeres" ( Island of women, as the story goes, when this island was founded there lots of sculptures of women's busts on the beach, whatever)

The Island, just like Cancun because of the Coral Reef has beautiful powdery white beaches and clear turquoise waters. It draws a different croud. Lay back people who just want to hangout, relax and drink. Their is a lot of day traffic because the boats leave from Pto Juarez a 10 minute cab ride from downtown Cancun. Th boats take 15 minutes and leave every half hour, the last one back is 11PM. All the people that I meet are their for 3 to 6 months a year, They pay around $300 bucks a month for a room and vegout all day.

To change my routine, I thought that it would be nice to spend a day on the Island with Alton. He of course,has the lay of the land by now, know where to go and where all the girls hang out. I drove to Pto Juarez, left my car infront of a Church and we took the 10:30AM boat. There are three girls selling tickets and Alton has been trying to make one of them for a while now but his Spanish is so weak he can't make headway. Ok, here is where I come in. He immediately grabs Karen's hand and kisses it, she turns a little red, the other two girls are laughing. So I go though my routine for Alton, telling Karen how much he likes her and has been dreaming about her, that he will be your shining Prince, and that his heart is beating fast when he see you, This all sounds GREAT in Spanish and the girls get a big kick out of the way I deliver the lines. Bottom line,Karen gets off at 6PM and they were to meet for coffee on the Island side. Karen was cooling herself off with a brochure as we left, you could see her through the window.

The boat ride was nice, all new A/C boats and the 15 minutes pass fast. Some 15 years ago I use to do this a lot, it was nice to see all the changes. We walked to Altons favorite beach. He bought a beer, I bought a bottle of water and for the $1.50 you could use the chairs and unbrellas all day, the man know hou to work a buck. This was the closest thing to Club Med, the only difference was in Club Med we stayed on nude beach. (WOW!! memories, I took 8 tips to Club Med- Martinique during the 80'.....for 2 weeks at a clip .....16 weeks of my life on a nude beach with girls from all over the world, of course you remember those days, Matt, Mervin, Steve, Charlie and Richie, your all on my "Private Blog List" so I know your reading this now.)

Ok, now it was time to work the beach and meet all the people in our area. There were two very thin girls from Japan, sitting next to us, Yoko and ??????? They spoke hardly any English.....this was getting to be a lot of work so I had to move on. Two girl from London were walking by, we told them the deal here and they bought 2 beer and sat down for the day. As Alton and I walked the beach, we met Paula and Lorina, both Mexicans who live in Cancun and were their for the day, Alton had the hots for Paula, so Domo goes though his routine getting them together. They take a walk for a while I spend some time getting to know Lorina. Boring, I'm out of their. I went back to the two girls from London and spent time with them, that was fun,good kids, we had lots of laugh. Meanwhile I meet Jack, a friend of Altons, he's from Minn. and spend 9 months a year on the Island and the summer months back home. Some guys taught him how to play the bongos and he plays with them every night in a club, not for money, just to hang out and meet girls. Being us now is a couple, Ameican guy with lots of tattoos and a Mexican girl. We started talking and it winds up that he paying for her to stay on the Island with him for the week, She works in one of the houses out on 21. (Cancun's legalized Pink Zone)

Now, out of nowhere their are fashion models all over the place. I spoke to the guy holding the shield for the sun, his name is Marizio and lives in Cancun, What's the story Marizio? He said they were shooting photos for COCO BONGOS, one of Cancun best disco. The gave all the girls turquoise tee shirts with Coco Bongo logos on them. They slipped them on and wiggled out of their bras. So that was a very nice visual for a few hours, using the ocean , palm trees, small boats etc for their background.

While this was all well and good, it's Saturday night and i'm looking forward to see Rosy over my place at 8PM back in Cancun. So, adios Alton and friends. I took the 4:30 PM boat back to Pto Juarez and by 5PM was in my place.
