Wednesday morning work!

We were back up in El Hato today working on the wall. Gabe & our friend Maco replaced the end pole for the fence above the wall today as well. The students are a little tired, but got to experience an earthquake last night! A little after midnight a 5.3 (other sources say 5.7) magnitude quake shook our part of the country. Everyone is fine and most actually said that it was an cool experience. Earthquakes are quite common down here - there are a handful of small ones every week. Guatemala lies in a major fault zone that cuts across the southern part of the country, hence the string of 30+ volcanoes that dot the countryside!
Here are some pictures from this morning:
