On my last trip to Coz. we visited the other side. On our way over, we passed
a sign saying El Cedral the first city on Coz. Well, with a sign like that and
my inquisitive nature....were off to El Cedral. It's a quiet little village with
some Mayan ruins, which we did not see, and a few shops. The one I found most
interesting was a little place on the lsft just as you enter the town (don't
blink). It is run by Mitos and his family. Mitos has been written up in several
news articles. He not only creates jewelry from black coral, but in his younger
days actually dove for the coral to depth's of 330 feet...WOW! If you stop at
his shop, take time to talk to him. He is only too happy to talk about diving
and may show you around the new home he is building and his beautiful flower and
veggie. gardens. He is very proud of his family,that all work there with him,
and his business and home. Just a little side trip that took about an hour and
to us was worth every minute.....enjoy.....Bob
