your Odyssey Sea Glass News, Issue #043 Cruz'n
September 27, 2010
Hi,

Lin_and_David
Yep, we're in cruise mode right now. We have been really busy here with volunteer work but unfortunately Lin has been having a lot of joint pain, so tomorrow we are off to the specialist.

This is about 3-1/2 hours by bus from our house. But once we get done in the afternoon, we can go to one of the main jewelry crafting areas in Peru, Catacaos, and pick up some tools and silver wire that Lin is needing for her jewelry.

Also, that town is known for its good Peruvian ceviche. Yum! Then we'll spend the night at comfy hotel and kick back until the next day.

Anyway enough about us. Here is what's happening in the seaglass collecting world this past week.

Sep 11, 2010, Peru Earthquake reported 5.1

It is now showing on the earthquake.usgs.gov site as a 5.1

It is located right here, which means it was less in other areas so we don't expect much damage to be reported.

We will update this if there is any important news item involved.

Sep 11, 2010, Strong earthquake strikes Northern Peru

You heard it first here. About ten minutes ago, a strong quake shook this area. Here in Los Organos, I would estimate it at 5.3.

However, if it was centered far away, like the recent ones in eastern Peru's jungles, then it is much, much stronger.

There is nothing on the news yet and we'll have to wait and see. No damage reported here in the last five minutes.

Dec 14, 2009, Update on our move to the beach, Peru

Hi all. We have been so busy that I haven't gotten a newsletter out in a couple of weeks,and probably won't get to it for another few days.

However, Lin and I are enjoying our stay with friends while looking for a house to rent here in Los Organos, Peru.

The beach is beautiful, although we haven't found much as far as beach glass.

For you surfers, the waves are going off today with a new north swell, waves about 6 feet here and much bigger at Cabo Blanco, about 25 minutes from here.

More later, David and Lin Schneider
