Up at 6:15 and drove all day with the exception of a few rest stops on the way to Chilean. Finally got to our hotel by 9:00 PM. After getting into our hotel decided to go to a grocery store, check out the produce and buy some bottled water. We had not eaten dinner yet so we went to the local pizzeria. The place was right full of customers and we were tired so the 6 of us just ordered the pizza to go and ate it in one of our rooms.
When visiting with other people in our group they were asking if we had felt the earthquake tremor of about 4.5. We were in the grocery store at the time and hadn't felt a thing. The locals were unconcerned but for an Alberta boy this was something new.
**Note. This is the same town that the on the 27 of February, 2010 had a very devastating 8.8 earthquake that has killed 700+ people. We also stayed a night in the city of Concepcion, toured the port of Valparaiso and spent a few nights in Santiago. All these places were badly effected by this earthquake. So tragic for all those people and their families.
