That´s right people we survived an earthquake. Coming from Chicago I´ve never experienced such a shock in my life. Liz and I were at the bus station buying our tickets to Ariquipa when the whole place started to shake. It felt like I was riding a moving bus. Everyone started screaming and running. We just looked at each other and decided we better run out of there as fast as we could. The buildings, windows, and bilboards were shaking. It was such a long tremour, probably 2 minutes long. Which seems like a long time. We have to catch a bus in a few hours so I don´t have much time to write, but I wanted you all to know that we are fine. The places hit harder are in the south, Ica and Pisco. When we arrive in Arequipa I will continue our Lima story. Since the big shake we have felt two more mini-quakes (they may be after shocks). It´s truly a unique experience!
Just know that we are safe. And we are very happy. Everyone here is so nice! Beyond belief. We are loving it.
