Some good news from Mexico

The good news is that, although Hurricane Dean hit Cancun with terrible force, destroying property and crops, so far it seems that there have been no casualties. Our friends who were due to fly back yesterday have emailed to say they have been able to change their flight to leave from Mexico City on thursday. I am so grateful to know they are safe--they have friends in the DF who will look after them as well. I'm sure they'll have many stories to tell when they return. I just hope they were able to enjoy the first part of their vacation before the weather went bad.
