2 Bits

We had an earthquake here - 5.6 on the richter scale from what I've seen. It was pretty freaky. Went on for at least a minute. The press say some people died (6 I believe). Anyway, no damage or anything like that that we've seen.

And, in other news, the founder of the Farc, Marulanda, is apparently dead. It's a pretty big story down here. Not sure if it really means anything for the future of the FARC but people seem to be rejoicing anyway.
