Thanks, you always take wonderful pictures, but these are so depressing.

Now I am waiting for a review(grin).

Depressing wasn't something that I felt while there. It was more amazement
at the sheer magnitude of the damage. Shock. A feeling of surreal.
Similar to when the WTC's collapsed.

I stood on the dock... looked out 100 ft. to water where the Carnival pier
once stood, looked at the shore where Sr. Frogs stood, looked at the hotels
that you could see through... shook my head and just said "F**K"!

Plus, looking at the resolve of the people... I never got the feeling of
depressing.

I guess the real reason I put up the pictures is that I don't want people
who will be going there to have the impression that it's even remotely back
to normal for Cozumel. It may be half a year before Sr. Frogs and
Carlos'n'Charlies are open again. But the people of Cozumel need us. Just
like the people of NOLA and the Gulf Coast needed our help. I've never been
to NOLA, but I guess some of the feelings that people were feeling about
NOLA are the same kinds of feelings I'm having about Cozumel.

That is the small extension Sr. Frogs at the Carnival pier. The main
Sr. Frogs and Carlos and Charlies at the Langosta pier suffered less
damage and could be open in a month or two.

I went downtown after Paradise Beach (Tom went back to the ship). Many
of the stores are up and running downtown. A lot of work has been done
there and is being done there. It does not look bad there, a lot of
damage was to second floors.

Got to run...maybe more later
