Earthquake Update


Apparently the quake yesterday was a bigger deal than we thought. It was the biggest Costa Rica has had since 1991. It was a 6.1 and the epicenter was about 20-30 miles from here. It was a shallow quake so it did a bit of damage. In some places the ground split open and in other the land folded over on itself. All that happened here was a light fixture detached from the ceiling. Something like an earthquake makes you realize just how small we are and how little control we have.

As far as our health goes, Jenna is doing much better and went to orientation today. I am still home sick with a fever. I hope I kick this thing soon.
