Hi,
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.
Here is a little reminder to check out the upload features on the fun page, where you can contribute your comments, questions, and photos on what you find at the beach or just about anything to do with beach glass.
We invite any of you to share a short story of your beach impressions (funny, sad, or exciting) and get a link to the website or blog of your choice.
(To skip right down to the newest blogs, click here)
For those of you who have just recently signed up, this newsletter is an update on the new features and changes in the last couple of weeks.
If you have been reading the RSS/Blog, you will already have seen some of these new items... But take a look at the updates below and see if you missed something important. There are also usually some unanswered questions that we'd love to have you answer.

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.

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.
