Cozumel

As Hurricane Wilma pounds away at the island I love to vacation on, I am reminded that most of my favorite places on the island are "poorly built structures" on the back side of the island. There's the restaraunt with the hammocks as you turn the corner into "Rasta" and then all the little shops along the beach back there that are really just little huts with a great ocean breeze and view. It saddens me to think of these places being destroyed and not being there when I go back. How much of what I love will be gone? How much will be changed? I sit here and can vividly picture the hurricane battering and destroying the island and all my favorite "haunts". It leaves a sick feeling in my stomache.
