MONDAY´S EARTHQUAKE IN GUATEMALA

EARTHQUAKE

Just in case the media caught the story of an earthquake in Guatemala, I just wanted to make sure to let you all know
WE ARE ALL FINE.

We did feel the earthquake, but it wasn´t big and wasn´t long.
Of course, Liz was a little cautious for the rest of the day (what do you expect???)

Here´s the info I found online and a link to it just in case you´re interested:
