"It's nothing short of amazing how so many people have pitched in to clean up and repair the damage from the hurricane."

I've been through a few hurricanes in the States and me and wife just happened to be in Cozumel for Wilma. I'm amazed at the speed with which the folks in Mexico are able to recover. After Wilma we were walking into San Miguel from our resort when we encountered a cadre of machete wielding gentlemen on the road. Somewhat alarmed at first, our fears were quickly ameliorated when we learned that they were a group of timeshare salesmen who took it upon themselves to clear debris from the road.

There seems to be incredible focus by local individuals in Mexico on restoring their community after a disaster without waiting for assistance from outside or the government.

Saludos, Zihau!

And, yes, we plan on being there Saturday afternoon, flinging pesos, walking the beaches and toasting the sunset.
