We´ve had two small earthquakes (tremblores) since we´ve been here in Arequipa. Luckily no terremotos (large, disasterous earthquakes.) The last one of those happened in 2001, when many neighborhoods in Arequipa looked like this:
In any case, there´s no cause for worry: the locals don´t really even seem to notice when the little tremblers happen -- they just go on with their daily business as if nothing has happened.
We´ve been feeling a bit tired lately. This is probably partly due to the altitude (Arequipa sits at almost 8,000 feet!) but also to a rather relentless school schedule and lots of walking all around town. So it´s time to go home and take a nap I think.
