February 15, 2017. Playa Royale, Mexico. Our Lego Wall.

We all knew that eventually a big storm would knock down our wall.    But the wall did it's job.  The road was not torn out as it was during the last big storm.  Many times we would look at the wall as we walked across the causeway and say "The next big storm will  knock this wall down".  And it did.

Before the wall was built, we enjoyed walking along the causeway to the church, then we either continued on to Gill's house or returned back home.  The walk was pleasant.  On one side we could look out to sea and on the other we looked at the lake.  The breeze was always blowing.  We loved that walk.

But the hurricane took out the road which meant that to drive to Gill's house required a 35k drive.  The powers that be decided to build a wall.  We called it a lego wall because the wall had no foundation and no concrete.    It was made just like legos, stacking one block next to another and held together by projections in the concrete blocks.    On the ocean side they pushed big stones up to the top of the wall.  After a few years the wall leaned toward the road, but just a bit.

The  wall ruined our walk because we had no view of the sea nor any breeze.

The  big storm this week knocked down the center of the wall.   It fell toward the ocean.  The high sea and wind must have undermined the wall.  I hope they are slow to repair the wall.  I wish to walk across the causeway in Nova Scotia  and enjoy the breeze and the views.    I am pleased the road was not torn apart but the lego wall was ugly.  Now the middle third of the wall has tipped over.  If we are lucky, they will leave it alone.  Time will tell.
