Kidding. Just a quick update. We don't have T.V. here so the majority of news we all get is from whatever people are seeing put on Facebook (minus me now). Which is how we all almost immediately knew of the budget bill passing, but have only just heard about the earthquake in Japan.
The district I live in is Pueblo Libre - it's located a good 2 miles from the coast and so far we are being told to be pretty calm about everything.
Here's a link of a statement from the mayor. According to this, we won't get an update until about 3pm our time, 2pm Wisconsin time. Side note, it's really hard to find english articles about a tsunami in Peru when Google creeps on your location (like it usually does) and gives all ads and articles in Spanish.
So, long story short, we don't really know what to expect and won't for the next 3 hours. No one seems really concerned about it; that being said, we're avoiding the beach today. Tonight I leave for a weekend retreat with Ann Marie, a girl from our program, with her church but if anything were to happen I'll be sure to post on here and call home so they can spread the word that everything's fine.
And if I can't get ahold of home at that very second, someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help refrain my mother from flying down here for at least 24 hours. Love you mom.
Besitos y abrazos,
Keeley
