Good stitching Jeanne.
If this is one hotel complex, do the guests get motorised transport to go
from one end to the next?

Thanks, Joëlle. There are always taxis hanging around, so it's a
possibility!

As Gail said, it looks like a huge place. It is noticeable there is
something 'amiss' with it, even though there aren't too many details
from this distance. Without looking for flaws (why should I, it's
not the purpose of the image), I'd say you made a good panorama.

That looks like quite a place, Jeanne. You did a really nice job putting the
pic together.

Good to hear from an eye-witness that Cozumel is recovering.

Great stitching job, Jeanne. It looks eerie. I can see a little
damage to the roof.

Thanks, Joske. The boat was bouncy. That's my excuse for the flaws.

Thanks, Gail. It's to their advantage that they have plenty of workers.
They have come from all over Mexico. The government supports the
reconstruction because tourism is important to them.

A remarkable job of stitching, Jeanne. At first glance, it doesn't
look too bad, but then you start noticing things that aren't right,
like most of the roof missing, concrete blocks askew, trees stripped,
and other things.

It will definitely take some time and work to recover. In my area,
most of the roofs blown away a year and a half ago are mostly fixed.

Thanks, Ron. Yes, that's an enormous project but they'll get it done.
