...the more I realize that we will probably not be visiting Costa Maya on our cruise in April. Five years ago, this area was nothing but jungle. The cruise lines came in, spent a fortune and turned this area into a tropical mecca - shopping, food, tours, etc. Hurricane Dean came through on Tuesday and turned it back into a deserted jungle area. My memories are of happy tourists, friendly people and unbelievable beauty - all destroyed. This photo was taken on December 6th, 2006 - from our ship balcony.
...and the view today.
....and the pier taken from our balcony window in December and what's left of it now.
The area in the foreground is where our ship docked (on the right of the pier). A Royal Caribbean ship was parked on the left. The long broken section in the background is what what we walked down to get into the shopping area. And here we are - just nine short months ago - standing on that pier in front of our ship.
