Cozumel Public Safety Department Ready for Semana Santa/Easter Week

Next week is the Catholic holiday of Easter, or as it is called in Spanish, “Semana Santa.” It’s often considered to be the busiest week of the year for national travel, since schools and many offices will be closed throughout the country. Entire families visit relatives, friends or just come to enjoy Cozumel’s beaches, watersports and cuisine. Cozumel municipal officials have been hard at work ensuring that public safety departments, such as police and lifeguards, are prepared for the additional crowds that will arrive to the island. Cozumel’s Director of Public Safety, has announced that additional contingency plans have been put in place during the holiday time so that beachgoers can enjoy their visit in the safest manner possible. Last year “Operation Semana Santa” was deemed a total success, with lifeguards rescuing 7 swimmers without a single fatality.

An ex-Connecticut Yankee who has called Cozumel home for over 18 years, Laura ran away to the Caribbean years ago, bumped around the islands teaching SCUBA diving, lost some time in Jamaica, and finally stopped in Cozumel for a 2 week vacation that hasn’t ended yet. With a degree in Journalism from a fancy private college she convinced her parents to pay for, Laura writes, edits, and creates the weekly Cozumel 4 You news, social media, and promotional articles about the island, as well as moderates the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group, which currently has over 25,000 members. Her long suffering husband, Fabian, has long since resigned himself to having zero private life, as he’s been involved in her various schemes and plots since his arrival. Proud parents to a variety of rescue dogs and cats, Laura continues to be the bane of her traditional Mexican mother-in-law’s existence, as she muses her way through life in the Mexican Caribbean. ______________________________ Una ex yanqui de Connecticut quien llama hogar a Cozumel desde hace más de 15 años.
