Midday update

Thursday, August 16, 2007 |

So being in Costa Rica we often times lose touch with the happenings in the United States. So sometimes news reaches us and i don't know if if reaches the states. Yesterday there was a earthquake in Peru. So please keep that in your prayers. However some quick panic swept over the city of Puerto Viejo as rumors abounded that a tsunami was headed toward us, 13 meters high (40 foot) and was coming at 9pm. Some of the students got a little scared, then April and I discussed the inherent flaws of logic in the theories of a tsunami wrapping around the coast of Chile 'rounding the cape near Antarctica then traveling up the other coast of South America and then making a 90 degree turn into the Caribbean Sea, or traveling through the Panama canal (jumping each lock individually), or hoping completely over the entire continent of South America. 9pm came and went without incident, we even turned on CNN and heard it reported that all tsunamis were canceled. But we're all safe and sound. I have been uploading many new photos so check them out, and a new post will come later.
