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

Pacific groundswell: more waves to come
Disaster area declarations sought in Guerrero, Oaxaca

The huge groundswell that affected the Pacific coast last weekend may be over, but Guerrero Civil Protection Secretary Raúl Domingo Miliani Sabido warns that the phenomenon isn’t done yet.
“What we’re experiencing now is a truce, but soon, between May 12 and 15, wave heights and intensity will reach a new peak. We strongly suggest that residents remain vigilant of Civil Protection [information] releases, and most importantly, of the behavior of the sea itself.”
“Some beaches in the state remain closed not only as a precaution; they’re still covered in debris,” said Miliani Sabido.
Damage assessment is under way in 12 coastal municipalities that are likely to be declared disaster zones by the federal government. So far, the tally is 695 destroyed or partially destroyed houses and 495 damaged businesses. As of yesterday there were still 175 people quartered in four different temporary shelters.
Meanwhile, Oaxaca Senator Benjamín Robles, president of the chamber’s South-Southeast Commission, has requested that municipalities and communities affected by the groundswell in his state be declared disaster zones as well.
“We urge the federal government to thoroughly assess current conditions in the affected Oaxaca municipalities and communities. A disaster zone declaration would help in assisting victims and keeping the rest of the population safe, and in promoting an information campaign,” he said.
Oaxaca Civil Protection coordinator Felipe Reyna said nine municipalities were affected by the big waves.
“Tourist activity is stalled on 35 beaches, and there are at least 380 affected businesses, mostly palapas on the beach.”
The groundswell, known in Spanish as “mar de fondo,” delivered waves as high as 10 meters in Oaxaca and Guerrero, resulting in three deaths.
