More Damage caused by Hurricane Ivan

Even though that rat bastard didn't even hit here in Cancun there was some very serious damage done. Everyday the paper brings more stories of beaches stripped of sand or hotels now closed because of damage. Three kilometers of beach in Cancun are GONE! This stretch of beach used to be in the heart of the hotel zone.

I heard today that the Avalon Reef Hotel on the north eastern tip of Isla Mujeres is closed for repairs. It's right on the ocean and must have gotten quite a whipping by the waves. In Cancun the waves were supposedly 3 meters high, Isla Mujeres is even more exposed so they must have been horrendous.

Some beaches around here got bigger, the sans rearranging themselves. I heard that Playa del Carmen has beach damage, but that Puerto Morelos now has wider beaches. The northern side of the Cancun hotel zone now has more sand as well.

What's amazing to me is that the hurricane didn't hit us. What if it had?
