in memoriam: victims of the 8.0 earthquake

living in earthquake country myself, i am keenly aware of the horror that happens when the ground starts to shift. and so, my heart goes out to the victims of the earthquake in peru and to those who were injured and lost their homes.

i do remember my short time in lima and fondly remember a neighborhood called miraflores (the santa monica of lima). it makes the news stories of the earthquake more personal as i read about people in miraflores and in the affected areas, in general, go through their horrifying experience.

i hope that peruvians can soon find peace, safety and healing.
