Sadness for Chile

This is a bummer.  I am really sad that the earthquake in Chile has caused such damage to life and land.  As I write this, about 400 people are confirmed dead and undoubtedly there will be more casualties.  I have not been able to reach my friends yet, but I hope that it is only due to internet and phone services being down. 

Santiago is a beautiful city, and I had a great time exploring it all day --just one week ago.  I have been unable to find out much about how much of the city was damaged, but this is very unfortunate.  My prayers and thoughts go out to the country and the people who have lost their loved ones.  I am selfishly glad to have made it out before the incident, but in a way I wish I was there to help.

Chile, I love you and hope that you are back on your feet soon.
