While many Cozumel residents and visitors are familiar with the street named after Dr. Adolfo Rosado Salas, there are probably not so many individuals who are aware exactly who the doctor was and how he played a part in the history of the island.  Although he was not born on the island, Adolfo Rosado Salas moved to the island in the 1940s.  He was extremely well liked and often provided consultations free of charge.  He was so popular that after his death in 1943 grateful residents renamed the street that he lived in his honor.

Although his house no longer stands, there is a marble and concrete plinth with his likeness atop at the intersection of Calle Adolfo Rosado Salas and Avenida Rafael E. Melgar.

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.
