So I went to Cancun, Mexico this past weekend with my family and well I didnt go with my brother which kind of made it a bumer, but it was still a lot of fun. I havent been to Cancun since I was like fourteen, so of course I was excited to go. From the hurricane that hit this part of mexico was named Wilma, and it was really unfortunate for this beach side city because the natural disaster actually hit twice. The first time it hit was bad enough because when it hit it pretty much stopped moving and stayed in the same location. Then when ever it did move about a day and a half later it went right back to the gulf stayed there for a while and got all of its strength back and hit the already vulnurable city again. The after effects of this storm that happened over four and almost five years ago are tremendous, the beaches are still covered in rocks and sadly enough the sand looks like a cleaner version of G towns beaches. Im sorry, but thats sad. I mean i was exsadurating but its nothing like it was before, I mean the water is still the same a little darker but not that noticable. Its hard to just believe that the people there a week before it hit had no idea that everything could be taken away from you just like that, not for something you did or didnt do just because. Its very similar to what Katrina to New Orleans, Louisiana and I couldnt ever imagine going through somethin like that. Cancun was still under construction and a lot of hotels are rebuilding and a lot of the cities natives lost everything that they had worked for and its just sad that the world as beautiful as it is can turn so cold. I hope that eventually everything can go back to how it was.
