Cafa Maya sucked into Pacific Ocean...

Cafa Maya sucked into Pacific Ocean...



and spit out in pieces in the old lagoon behind Chefi´s .

Hi again Ivan, and hi Joseph.

We got some really big waves and lost the front part of our property. Other places got filled with sand

Here are some pics so you can get an idea. 

I  just wanted to fill you guys in.

Basically, various factors built up and 4 meter, 4 ton waves literally vacuumed Cafe Maya into the ocean. 

I still can barely believe it, it left the sand clean from the kitchen all the way to the shoreline, no evidence that anything had ever existed , only photos remain. I sent a pic. of the front of the cabañas the afternoon before the big wave

They say several factors contributed to the massive energy that was accumulated to accomplish this destruction:

Earthquake in Nepal may have sent tsunamis over to mid pacific ocean..."afterwaves" lingering out there , combined with waves from Chilean quake days prior, added to the full moon, spring tides, and a swell we normally get this time of year and chomp chomp...as Andrew says, plus "the waves heard about the good eats at Cafe Maya and decided to come for a (big) bite"...

Damn natural wonders...

it really sucks.

But we are okay, keeping up our spirits, and brainstorming how to rebuild something better than before. here is a website to see what my sisters have put together to help us out. 

Rey told me just now that yesterday the government aid was approved, so we will see. 

We are relaxing watching movies up in our room, enjoying what is left of our humble home (kitchen, upstairs, bath house). Could be worse!

Take care, Kate, Rey, Acalli, Ileana, Cafe , Fantasma and Snowy
