This photo is on the front page of the New York Times as well as our local paper here in San Antonio. Hard to believe that the prime photo about the damage on SXM is of the one place we stay every time we visit SXM, namely La Playa (aka, L'Hoste). Instad of wondering what might have happened to our favorite spot, it is plainly evident in this photo. They were in the midst renovating the front four buildings with a target date of December. We stayed in the back building in May. It is heart-breaking. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Sad.gif" alt="" />
