Day 5 in Cozumel: Casa Gordon, A Place of Caviar Dreams...


Stacy (seen to the right with her husband-to-be, Casey) (and yes, it's Stacy and Casey) is going to get married on Cozumel in a year, so we agreed that she should check out the villa she's going to have her ceremony at. She's also going to be staying there before and after the wedding. It was incredible and very well taken care of. Her wedding planner met us there, and then we sampled some food from the restaurant that would be catering the event. That restaurant also happened to be at the beach where Stacy and I were going to swim and sit on the beach almost every day. Then we sampled a mini wedding cake, chocolate of course. It was a very typical latin type cake, in that it's frosted with a merengue type icing, not butter cream. So it ends up having a marshmallow-like taste. And the cake is layered with an almost gel-pudding like filling. This completely brought me back to my childhood when we'd go to the Cuban bakeries in Fort Lee, NJ. These types of cakes are great! Well after the wedding stake out, we went back to the beach to swim and frolich among the fish in the blue waters...oh, and just to diffuse any confusion, Casey, although pictured in the photo above, wasn't on vacation with us. That was there to provide a visual of the people I was referring to, etc.
