About Me

In October, 1997, my husband Mark and I, decided to move to Ecuador. We settled in Cuenca, the third largest city. It is nestled in a valley surrounded by the Andes Mountain range. It has been an amazing aventure.

Tremor

Woke up this morning with the building shaking. A 6.9 earthquake near Ambato was felt in Cuenca. I must say we were a bit shook up and left the building as soon as the shaking stopped. No damage but was disconcerting.

    Used to earthquakes in NZ so when it happened this morning - we just went with the flow - so glad we didn't have to run out because I was in the shower!

    That must have been a frightening awakening. Glad you were not injured.
