Cozumel island Mexico is hit by an Meteorite
Eye witnesses shot photos of this flying object and said that at 3:30 am, a big fire tail came over the caribbean sea from the east side of the island Cozumel. The tail ended suddenly and a big explosion with 2 smaller explosions were to hear accompanied by a shock wave. The crater must be some where south of town in the jungle.
Cozumel island has a huge aerea of impenetrable jungle. And it will be very hard to find the crater or pieces of the meteorite.
The Mexican Navy wich is stationed on the international Airport made flights this morning in the south aerea for about 3 hours.
Photos of the fire tail are in the post production and will follow......

Cozumel seafood restaurant La Perlita with sensational Lion Fish dishes

Seafood restaurant "La Perlita" in Cozumel Mexico serves now different Lionfish dishes and plates! Sensational!!!
"La Perlita",counts to one of the best seafood restaurants in Cozumel offers now Lionfish dishes.
This
exotic species: "Pterois volitans" "Lion fish" also known as "red fire Angel"- that is not native to the reefs of the island Cozumel is a species of venomous marine fish that continues to spread throughout many parts of the island reefs. They are actually eating their way through the Atlantic reefs, causing the most devastating marine invasion in human history and also put the beautiful reefs and marine life of Cozumel at risk.
Facing this problem the owners of restaurant "La Perlita" are actively helping to control the Lionfish population by preparing exquisite plates like:
Ceviche Lion - a real specialty.
Chopped fish filet bits in a fresh sauce of lime, mango & chili.
Served cold & mouth watering!!
Cozumel Restaurant Guide suggestions
Kilete a la Kisin. Little fish filets in a tasty red sauce...a must try!!
Also fried or grilled lionfish fliets are available...everything we (CozumelRestaurantGuide.com) tried was "yummie yummie". Usually 30-40 Lionfish add up to 1 kilogram (approx. 2 pounds) of fish - of which we can prepare 1 portion (350 gr) of the delicious filet" explains Gladys Tun ("La Perlita").
Therefore your reservation is required.
Lionfish have venomous dorsal spines that are cut off before they arrive at the chef´s kitchen. However - for security reasons every Lionfish
has to be frozen for at least 3 hours in order to transform its poison into protein.
The chef´s of "La Perlita" also educate other local chefs how to prepare the "red fire angel". In cooperation with the department of the National Marine Park Cozumel, the Office of Tourism Cozumel and Canirac (restaurant association of Cozumel) and local fishermen -
Cozumel seafood restaurant "La Perlita" is the first restaurant on the island that is actively helping to save the reefs.
Thank you "La Perlita" !!

COZUMEL WINE TASTING NIGHT IN GUIDO'S RESTAURANT /Chardonnay/Merlot/Pinot Noir...
Yvonne Villiger created a delicious 8-course gourmet meal with an excellent tasty wine ensemble that was presented by Dr. Pierre Jacquemin.
More than 25 wine lovers visited Guido’s restaurant and where very pleased by all the different wine flavours that are imported out of France.
For more information about France, please read wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_wine
The meal started with an Aperitif - a sparkling wine "Louis Loron Brut Rose" that is also known as "Crèmant de Bourgogne". Manufactured since 1973 in the French city Moussex.
This sparkling wine is fermented in the bottle, which is a method of sparkling wine production originating in the Champagne region where after the Cuvee has gone through a primary yeast fermentation. The wine is then bottled and goes through a secondary fermentation where sugar and additional yeast known as liqueur de tirage is added to the wine. This secondary fermentation is what creates the carbon dioxide bubbles that sparkling wine is known for.
An excellent choice for an Aperitif in a warm Caribbean region like Cozumel Island.
HK.jpg)
The first course this evening was a nicely made tostada with Dorado Fish in tomato, cilantro, red onions and avocado served with a white Pinot Gris, Reserve "Gustave Lorentz", from Bergheim region Alsace.
Characteristics: floral, aromatic, light, sweet, long in taste. Very good for seafood and fish, can be served with cheese or as Aperitif.
The second highlight on this wine taste dinner was handmade Raviolinis filled sheep cheese and butter. Served with a "Coulin Bourisset" Pouilly - Fuissè a Chardonnay; a white wine with a rich aromatic flavour, fruity and floral, long in taste.
Followed by a tasty filet of a Wahoo fish on potato puree with home made remoulade.
This meal was served with "Palliser estate" red wine which is originated in Martinborough, New Zealand. An extraordinary selection of red wine served cold and suitable to poultry, cheese, sausages and ham.
Characteristics: "Pinot Noir" Fruity with a touch of earthy yet light and vivid in taste - can be served cold without loosing its fruity taste.
What would Guido’s Restaurant be without having their special wood oven pizzeta with zucchinis, garlic in olive oil? That gave us a brief break in between all the fantastic tastes - but only a short one because the taste of the new served wine brought us back in to the wine country France...back to "Mercurey" which is a small Village in Borgonia. Mercurey is the largest wine-producing area of the Côte Chalonnaise in Calizia and contains 30 premier vineyards.
Around 90% of the wine production is red, from the Pinot noir grape.
Characteristics: it is a light wine, with a typical aroma for a red wine out of this region in France (forest, mushrooms and leather). Very good for meals like: snails, ham, wildfowl and red meat.
The next dish "Osso Buco di Maiale" cooked meat on Risotto Milanesa with a real tasty brown sauce. An awesome meal: light and nicely decorated. It came with a red "Chàteau La Gorce".
This red wine is a mix between 2 Red Wines"60% Cabernet Sauvignon" and 40% Merlot.
Characteristics: A middle strong wine, with mature fruit and mushroom aroma, long in taste.
This wine is an excellent choice for ham, wildfowl, red meat, meals with brown sauces.
The 7th dish was a Filet Mignon, marinated in wild black truffles on potato puree. An exceptionary flavour of a filet - nice and soft like filets really should be.
The selection of wine for this course was a Chàteau Patris 2004 from Saint Emilion Grand Cru.
Saint-Émilion is located 35 km (22 mi) northeast of Bordeaux, between Libourne and Castillon-la-Bataille. The ground is 100% limestone so it tastes really extraordinary. Chàteau Patris is also a mix, 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.
Characteristics: a very tasty red wine, fresh for his age, fruits and flowers flavour, long in taste.
Should be served for red meat, wildfowl, fat meat or meat plates.
The dessert: Strawberry with seasonal berries merengue and vanilla cream.
Served with an extraordinary "Muscat Beaumes de Vines" from Cote du Rhone, this wine grows on a granite ground.
Characteristics: highly aromatic, with all the flower of Muscat and complex aroma fruit such as pineapple and kiwi. Serve this wine cold with ice cream and fruits.
The team around Yvonne Villiger is always serving all those delicious dishes and the wines with
a warm welcomingly atmosphere.
All wines were presented by Dr. Pierre Jacquemin, who is a well-known wine expert and wine merchant from Naucalpan, Mexico.

We recommend the Restaurant Prima Trattoria with the highest point in Cozumel in the 7th floor at the top of the El Cantil Condominiums. That is about 40 meter or 120 feet above the ground, feeling like being seated directly over the ocean.
Prima Trattoria is located in front of the new City hall park.The restaurant has an elevator, free wireless internet connection, and excellent service.

The end of the reefs in Cozumel

The reefs of Cozumel are counting to the second largest barrier reefs in the world. The longest barrier reef in the Carribbean Ocean, with an area of thousands of square miles, get new attention in the presence of an exotic, dangerous fish, the lionfish (Pterois volitans).
Marine Park Authority and local divers have been given the task of catching every fish sightings to curb its population growth. Although this measure is not sufficient, because the fish is laying between 15000 to 30000 eggs every four days.
Within one year marinepark helpers and divers captured about 1600 fishes, mostly in the marine park, south of cozumel. A fishing tournament last week brought 279 fishes in five hours to the surface.
Cozumel measures 48 miles from north to south and 16 miles from east to west, the Marine Park occupies less than 40% of the island, starting on the "Paradise Reef" and covers a smaller area to the east (Maracaibo Reef), leaving 70% of the reefs in the east and north of the island, where nobody can make any effective control.
This will bring an invasion of the coasts, as happened in the Bahamas since 2004 when the first species where sighted there. In the Bahamas have been found up to 400 fish per hectar, almost five times more than in the Red Sea area where the presence of this fish is naturaly.
Experts from Universities in Mexico City, reveal that the lionfish may reduce 79% of the youth population of fish in a reef, and end the herbivorous species, bringing in a disproportionate growth of macroalgae, which would covering and killing the corals that are home to molluscs, crustaceans, and commercial fishes.
In the area north of Cozumel are lagoons and mangroves in which juvenile fishes refuge before leaving into the ocean, they become a easy prey to this voracious predator,
Since a year and a half this fish is counted in cozumel. It kills all kind of juvenilles in the reefs of Cozumel.
Even though they are poisonous they do have some predators which are humans, large eels, angelfish, pufferfish, and more.
