i´m okay, but others are not.

there was an earthquake in Peru of 7.5 on the richter scale. it was very serious, although the epicenter was in the ocean, near a city called Pisco (from which comes the Peruvian drink Pisco Sour, a very good drink). Lima, the capital, was badly affected. so far there are more than 500 dead, and more than 2000 hurt, as i understand. here in Cusco a small tremor was felt, although i didn´t feel anything because i think i had fallen asleep. the people i know weren´t affected.
that is the update. i have much to say from these past few days, conversing with Cuscqueños, but it will have to wait.
