So I got back from a short trip to the store. Larry was kind enough to take me. I didn't have enough Guatemala money with me and had to put back groceries!! Left my atm card in the room for didn't think I needed it. Forgot about spending money on shoes so was a bit short. Oh well, I will go back and get the yummy rotiesserie chicken another time.
Get to my room and get groceries unloaded. Sit on couch to Skype my brother and I start feeling the building shake. Think it is just from workers below, but the whole room starts shaking and I can see the wood balcony railings moving. Realize it is an earthquake. Didn't know if I should run out door or what. It went on for quite a long time. So I just sat frozen on my couch looking at the railing. I guess if something would of broke or shattered I would of gotten off the couch!! Anyway, it was quite scary. I left the room to go and check on everyone at school. Saw Amy and Thelmy outside my room. All was good, just not something I experience in Texas!! Felt a small tremor the last time I was here but nothing like this.
Here is link about magnitude of earthquake in case you are interested.
Just wanted to share! All good here!!
