me and the earthquake

About the earthquake in february I haven´t a big story to tell, because I wasn´t in Chile when that happened. Actually I was spending my holidays in Peru with my boyfriend.

We were in Gloria’s house, my peruvian friend. And we didn´t know nothing about the earthquake until the morning of the last day when our new friend start to call us to Gloria's house. The problem was that Gloria was very tired so she didn't answer the phone until 10 or 12 in the morning. They were very nervous because they have satellite T.V so they could be informed before us.

In the news said that in Chile everything was on the floor, houses, buildings, never said a number, but the news said there were a lot of lost and dead people.

I was really shocked and confused. So we decided go to the centre of the Lima to make some calls and see how was going everything with our parents.

I couldn't spoke to my house because my phone was dead, but my grandmother's house-phone was good and I could have a little time with she and my mom, they were very angry and nervous because I haven't spoke them before, but they didn't understand that we had three hours of difference... Anyway they were very happy to get news from me.

In my house we lost a wall, but that was de courtyard wall, and behind that there is a car parking so we haven't a big problem.

After that we tried to get back home but there wasn't any fly neither a bus. So we took one week to back to Santiago with our parents. And when we got home I felt really happy and calm. The problem was after my back, my mom was nervous all the time and she didn't like when I wasn't at home. She thought about aftershocks a very minute of the day. And when those finally came I just couldn't believe the movement of all the things...
