It pretty much told the story of devastation of the piers.

The first pic is the Cozumel Ferry, with the town Square in the background.

The second pic is Puerta Langosta at Punta Langosta.  I think it's
the Plaza in the background and the building is where Senor Frog
and Carlos 'n Charlies used to be.

The next several pictures showed the pier with the greatest damage.
The one with the Red Roof top near the street was about 1/3 of what's
left of the gift shops from the cruise ships to the street at 
Punta Maya, just south of La Ceiba hotel and the International Pier.

The OLDEST of all the piers, the International Pier was not even 
pictured, I think.  It was the only pier not severely damaged.

It was also reported that the Bahia Hotel (where many Coz99Nedfesters
stayed) stood up well;  so was it's new pardner on the ocean front,
Casa Mexicana (built since 1999) and is already open for business.

NOW I know fer sure that my cruises are NOT going to be stopping
there next month.  In fact, it's doubtful if any cruise ships go 
there the rest of the year.
