Day 7: Tsunami Alert & Changing Plans

Hi Everyone,

By now you've all received an email regarding the tsunami alert. We watched CNN in Spanish this morning over breakfast. We knew about the earth quake in Japan but didn't know how it would effect our plans. We wanted to wait to find out what our Habitat liason, Claudia, had to say about our itinerary for the day. We're sorry for the delay in getting news of our well being out to you, we're all safe and sound!

Originally we were planning on heading to our resort this afternoon, after the Habitat closing ceremonies. In light of the quake and the tsunami alert, we are spending an extra night at our current hostel in Zacatecoluca. We will only be going to the resort tomorrow morning (leaving around 8am) if it's safe to do so. Habitat already has several other locations lined-up at which we can spend our R&R days if necessary. Should our accommodation plans change we will make sure you are notified of all the necessary information.

Everyone is tired and looking forward to that rest and relaxation we've promised them but given the current situation they are all in good spirits.

I promise updates ASAP!
