We arrived yesterday afternoon, back from a week in Canada. (Our trip to Toronto for Claire and Len's wedding was really very nice, very busy, and it was not that cold out until the day we were leaving, thankfully. Claire and Len were radiant and happy, we power visited with friends - Yannik, Aarik, Vanessa, Dan, Colin, Cameron, Azhar, Joe, Tim, Sarah, the Peeps at AMD, Alison Claire's sister, as well as getting in some good but quick chats with friends at Claire's rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. For those of you we missed on the Power Visit, we'll see you in April. For those of you we did see, we'll see you again in April, and it was good to catch up.)
But back to our return to Oaxaca. The trip back was what I would call regular, other than my state of exhaustion, so I slept for most of the Toronto to Mexico City flight. The 2 hour layover in Mexico City was good timing, and onto the little plane that would take us back "home". And here we are. Sunny, warm, bright and brilliant Oaxaca, we catch a collectivo back to the house and settle onto the patio. We are chatting with our neighbors, relating wedding stories and Canada is cold stories, when the earth moves. I asked Ralph if he felt that, and he says "Yes." and gets up to ensure he is not under any cement structure (leaving me sitting on cement covered patio, of course). The earth moves again. Wow, two earthquake tremors. The news this morning said they were 5.5 on the Richter scale. How's that for a welcome home?

Nothing cracked or broken here, nope! At the epicentre of the quake there may have been a few houses damaged, but they would generally be poor people's houses, not very well built in general.
