Earthquake or Tremor . . . . .

So, why would we pose this question in the middle of all the excitement of the adoption. Well, Joe and I don't know the difference between the two because we never experienced either . . . .until now. Around 2am this morning we were woken up by a loud noise and the room swaying back and forth. It didn't help that we are on the 12th floor of the hotel and the hotel is split into two towers. It last about 1-2 minutes and when we finally got a hold of the front desk they told us it was tremors and they are used to getting this. We never heard of this while we were planning our trip. Who would have thunk!?! When we met our social worker around 7am she informed us that it was a 3 on the earthquake levels. Something they really are used to here. They have gotten a 6 before, a couple of years ago. Hope that it isn't time for another one in that category.
