Oh, wow Genesis! Your many travels always amaze me. Hopefully no one you know there was hurt...
My thoughts and prayers go out to Ecuador & Japan, and wish them the best of luck with caring for the injured and rebuilding homes. All the Japanese TV channels had earthquake footage on for a while. Now that they're starting to show other things I'm hoping that's a sign that things are getting better there.
Poor Ecuador though... If it's that reliant on tourism than things can't be looking up for them...
