Dry Cleaner and Laundry

There is a good laundry and dry cleaners called Del Mar that is on Ave. 20, near the corner of Juarez . Living on Cozumel I rarely wear clothing that has to be dry cleaned as my wardrobe consists mainly of shorts and tops that are the “throw in the washing machine and dryer” variety. However, when it comes to curtains, pillow shams and bedspreads I normally have those dry cleaned and I take them to Del Mar.

Flowers and Herbs 

There nursery is on the transversal road (Juarez) just before you get to the restaurant Cameron Dorado. I’ve purchased a number of different herbs there, but if you don’t speak Spanish I’d recommend bringing a Spanish/English dictionary with you. I’ve bought rosemary, marjoram and basil here and just recently purchased a beautiful flower called Crown of Thorns. The Spanish name of this plant is Corono de Cristo.

The Crown of Thorns is unique and quite beautiful, but the thorns are quite sharp and some people are allergic to the sap, so it should be handled with care. 

One day while walking downtown I saw a couple of these boats. I have no idea what company they belong to but I just couldn’t resist taking a photo of them.  

For those of you who haven’t stopped at Wet Wendy’s when you were downtown at the main square, you’ve missed some of the best margaritas on Cozumel. 

But in addition to the great margaritas and good food, there’s also a wonderful selection of glassware, jewelry and other items. I have a number of both their hand painted margarita glasses and hand painted martini glasses, and they also have hand painted shot glasses, wine glasses and pitchers. Just recently they received some new decorated glasses. 
I don’t know what they call them, but I thought of bright colored confetti when I saw them. 
If you have a dishwasher, the new “confetti” glasses (seen in the photo above on the right) can be put in a dishwasher while the beautiful hand painted margarita and wine glasses shown above should not be. 

Wet Wendy's is downtown in the main square area. In the main square that is across from the passenger ferry pier you will see a tall clock tower. Go and stand in front of the tower with both the clock tower and the ocean  behind you. That is a pedestrian only street in the main square, and it is Ave. 5. Turn to your left (north) and walk down Ave. 5.  In a 1/2 block you will pass a 7-11 store that will be on the right hand corner.  About 3/4 of the way down the next block (you're still on Ave. 5)  you will see three tan canvas umbrellas and some tables and chairs on the left. 
That's Wet Wendy's and they are open Monday-Saturday,  generally from about 11am.to around 9pm.  

Wet Wendy's is owned by Chad and Klara. Stop by to say hello, order a margarita and have lunch. It's a great place to sit and people watch too. Although many customers are tourists, you may find that some of their regular customers are Americans or Canadians living on Cozumel.  Before you leave, be sure to look at the beautiful hand painted margarita and wine glasses and look in the shop for jewelry and other interesting items.
