    Hey Daniel -- Congratulations on your new web site -- a message board just for La Manzanilla. What a great idea! I hope it's well enough supported to keep it interesting, but not so much that it encroaches on your Mexican lifestyle.

    That was the biggest earthquake I ever rode, and I lived in California. My two-story house was swaying and shaking like the Star Tours ride at Disneyland (only not nearly as much fun!). The noise was almost worse than the shaking. All the movement caused the house to emit loud ghoulish shreiks like spirits unleashed from the grave. I read reports that the initial sismo lasted 45-50 seconds. Seemed like an eternity at the time, but that's still waaay too long to be shaken so rudely, and in the dark at that. I had a lot of breakables sitting on my kitchen counters in preparation for pricing for my yard sale this Saturday, and not a thing was damaged. WHEW! Thank goodness La Manz escaped virtually unscathed!

    Can I promote my yard sale on your great new site? Guess I'll find out when this hits the board. Anyway, it's this Saturday, Jan. 25, starting at 10 a.m. I've moved from the beach to Josefina's old house (the one Rod bought): on the road out of town, the first right after the last store, Ararrotes del Emporeo, a few meters back where Rod's building his beautiful brick wall. Some of the great items for sale include: books and compact discs, Xmas decorations, housewares, jewelry and a bunch of other stuff. Prices START as low as $5 pesos. I hope to see you and a lot of other La Manz people here.

    Good luck with your new site, Dan. I'll visit early and often.
