Quick update... - Blogabond

For those of you that heard about the earthquake down here, we wanted to let you know we are safe. It was a 6.8 out of Gisbon, which is about 200 km southeast of us, so we did feel the tremor, but it was mild here. It was strange though, because I didn't know that they had earthquakes down here... I thought I was having a head rush when I first felt the rolling - then my tummy got a little queasy, but once we agreed it was a quake, it all made sense - it was actually quite exciting. Come to find out they have at least one quake a day in this area - most a re too small to even register.

So there you have it. Tim is at a natural geyser with a friend from the hostel and I decided to skip it and wander into town - the sun is peeking out a bit and I'm going to see about getting a chocolate bar to hide in the van for later (Tim doesn't really get my desire for chocolate, so it's best that I purchase these items while on my own).

Cheers!
Jen
