Cozumel

Cozumel, Mexico is on the Yucatan Peninsula, famous for Mayan temples and ruins.  We explored those in January, the last time we were here.  This time we selected a museum called "Discover Mexico" which was fabulous!  Our guide, Arturo, took us through an acre of land devoted to miniature buildings of all major buildings in the country plus an indoor area devoted to artifacts and other items of Mexican culture.  What  a a great concept.
