¡Earthquake!

Yup! 6.4 on the Richter Scale. We're totally fine so is our pueblo.
There have been little tremors throughout our time in Oaxaca, but nothing like this and not as loud. Woke us early this morning. We jumped up and stood hugging underneath the door frame. Wasn't too long, only lasted a few minutes. Kind of scary, kind of exciting. Relieved it wasn't stronger and no one was hurt. And that nothing broke. The puppy, naturally, slept through all of it, completely oblivious to the shaking earth beneath her.
