The second quake today is 5.3 in Guatemala


No bigs.  Second quake of the day in Antigua.  Call it an aftershock if you can but 5.3 says quake to me.  9:15 a.m. I'm standing in my room and my legs start wobbling.  I look up, the plant hanging in the hallway is swaying.  This time I make my way to the door way, taking no chances.

It passes in 10-15 seconds (my time) and life goes on like normal.  The locals laugh, ask if I'm scared since I'm asking so many questions.

I respond "this isn't normal for me, none of this!"

    You don't know me, but I just stumbled upon your blog. If you have the $$ and want to enjoy a nice night, head back under El Arco and try to get a room at the Cloister. Wonderful place and might change your feelings about Antigua, one of my favorite places in the world.
