Triple Bagel in Cozumel
My wife and I were in Cozumel as our last stop on a Caribbean cruise. We were checking out jewelry and a salesperson said you’ve got to talk to our manager. I thought, here comes the old fashioned hard core sales technique when the manager comes over and asks in Hebrew if we need a place for Shabbos! We did not but got the location of a new Kosher restaurant for lunch. We then caught a taxi to some Mayan ruins and on the way back shared a ride with an ordinary looking couple from a different cruise line. They complained to us that their cruise had no kosher food so we invited them to join us for lunch (they passed confirming my theory that they never asked for kosher food on their cruise and were just bageling). After a delicious lunch in the top floor of a mall, we went downstairs and right outside on the bench was an elderly religious couple. They were exhausted and asked if we knew any place they could get some kosher refreshment. We of course told them that they happened to be sitting in front of the only Kosher restaurant in Cozumel - triple play bagel!
