Greetings All,
This just in from Bonnie in PDC. . . . . Amazing!

Dear all,

Phew! That was a blow! Wilma came and left us wet, a little
ruffled but OK. The electricity is back, we are waiting for the water
today or tomorrow. Fifth avenue is up and running, mariachis and all.
The government has worked their fingers to the bone cleaning up the
debris and their efficiency and organization skills in reestablishing
services deserve a big applause. Now that all the properties are open,
dry and clean we are ready for business.

Fifth Ave. got their electricity back yesterday (Wednesday), shops
are open, restaurants are serving, and all the bars have ice! They,
too, are backin business.

Some of the private homes south of us suffered damages but the work
crews are in town and working hard to rebuild.

I will send pictures of Playa del Carmen as it stands today (only 5
days post Wilma) as soon as I download them from my camera. We even
have a beautiful, white and peaceful beach! The pool area is somewhat
battered, but it should be ready for fun in the sun and sunbathing in no
time. The trees and nature in general received a major pruning, but
will be budding with new life within a week or two. Obviously, the palm
trees need a new hairdo, but nature is amazing and will take care of
that promptly.

You need not worry, everything you are hoping for and you reserved
and payed, is here and in perfect conditions.



Warm hello from our little, ruffled paradise,

Janina and Bonnie
