Earthquake update & other things

Good afternoon world. Yesterday I received word from my dad about an earthquake in D.C. Today we got to experience one as well as a terremoto rocked northern Peru whilst we ate lunch in Malu. At first we didn't realize what was happening; only aware that the radio had been turned off. Then the restaurant's owner pointed to the drinks on the wall which were shaking slightly. The shaking intensified and we felt the vibrations through the table and floor. Once the peruvians started exiting the building we took it as our queue to take our food and run. As soon as we had made it outside the rumbling subsided and we finished our meal in peace. No buildings fell down and nobody was injured. As far as earthquakes go it was pretty tame.

In a previous post Nicole mentioned we would all be blogging today. Unfortunately our meeting with the Marianistas has been postponed to tomorrow so expect pretty pictures and insightful posts then.

Time for more community surveys. Trip leader signing off.
