Earthquakes in Chile


I’m sure you’ve all heard by now about the terrible 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile earlier this morning. I was looking at the information on the United States Geological Survey site and thought it was worth posting. As of 2:30 PM February 27th, there are 59 earthquakes that have occurred in the past 24 hours. We received a warning from Peace Corps Guatemala about a potential tsunami on the Pacific coast. Thankfully we’re safe from ocean-based threats up here in the highlands

Small update


Our camera is out of commission, at least until I figure out what’s going on with it. So no new picture updates for a bit. Everything’s going well, we’re soldiering on with work in a new community and I’m studying for my CCENT certification after passing my A+ exam this past week while Sarah was in the Peace Corps office for a meeting.

It’s hard to believe that in four months we’ll be closing down shop in our town and getting ready to start new lives in the States all over again! How time flies…
