Well, this time I really have completed the section of the Yucatan Travel Video on Cozumel Island. I put the finishing touches on the car ferry ride back to the mainland, again, enjoying the wonderful guitar music and singing of Tom Petrachenko rendering his own composition, All These Ghosts. As for the video footage of this part of the video, I especially love the little chihuahua dressed in a pink gingham dress who took that ferry ride with us.
