What happened to Majahual? A few years back it was all the rage...

What happened was a Hurricane named Dean.  Dean's eye hit just south of Majahual in August 2007.  and it was devastating.  When we were there in January 2008 it was astonishing to see the devastation...five months later much of the debris had yet to be removed.

The big issue is the wharf and the ecological and political rumors surrounding each.  Whatever the case Majahual was changed forever losing some 6,000 jobs and millions of dollars in beachfront properties...both structural damage and beach erosion. 

It's now been over a year and I'll post an update in January 2009.
