Well there is good news and not-so-good news. Most tourist spots are up and running. Hotel Galvez opened their doors on October 31, 2008, but unfortunately lost their new spa :( But they will re-build it.On the Harbor side, Willie G's Steak House opened back up on December 4, 2008. The main streets are cleaned up, with small piles of debris.
