Earthquakes

We are in the land of the big 2010 memories. Some wineries lost their whole supply, many homes were devastated but Chile has recovered well from that awful crisis. New wineries are built into rocky hillsides, multi story building are reinforced to withstand enormous forces. But we were surprised to read today of a 6.2 quake in LaSerena. We dodged that by 13 days. Many of the hotels, public buildings, places we visit have escape routes, safe havens clearly marked in case you need them. In some hotels they stated stand under the doorway and Ted always first checked the escape route anywhere we stayed.
