The World's Longest Earthquake

 "Oh my god! Do you guys feel that too?" 

This was a unique way start to science class on this lovely lovely splendid morn. At 10:58 am on Wednesday, May 12, my wife, daughter an myself started 'vibrating'. 

"Hey honey!" I said to my wife. "Do you feel that?" 

"How do I not! It's so big!" 

My students faces all gleamed and snickered as they were laughing at the 'noobies' (that being my family and I who were new to Peru and life along the fault line. My students one at at time all gave a thumbs up and our cohort's chat on 'WhatsApp' blew up with teacher diving for cover between blocks 2 and 3 of what would turn out to be not such an average day. 

Aftershocks were next and happened up till 10 minutes after the initial event. "Can you feel that?" I asked my wife again. It was like our apartment was a roller coaster and we were 4 years old again, enthralled at movements that were so subtle for for us at a moment in our life, so life changing.

Vacations!

 My plan for these vacations is to travel to the U.S, (Maryland, and New York), where me and my mom will both visit my aunt and cousin, and will also get fully vaccinated. We decided this, as the number of infections are higher here in Perú, not only that but many of my friends are travelling to United States as well and we might get a chance to safely see each other after quite a long time. Im really looking forward to this winter ( in Perú) but (Summer in Unites states) vacations.
