Our first earthquake

Earthquake

Yes - we are in Portugal. Everything is just great. We arrived yesterday - to 18 C weather quite nice since we had minus 1 when we left Berlin on Sunday morning.
When we go to Portugal we mostly go to Lagos, where a good friend of ours owns a house and we always stay there - it is like a home away from home.
We have a little cupboard where we get to keep our things - so we have our own stuff as the house . We also have a number of cats to feed as long we are there. They live around the area and one cat in particular loves to move in with us while we are there. The owner of the house is OK with it - she is a big cat lover.
So this morning while we getting ready to go into town it hit us out of nowhere. The walls began to shake and everything wobbled. Our first earthquake. It must have lasted about twenty seconds and was quite scary. Reading the news now it was a large quake and was a 5.8 on the Richter Scale...
Otherwise it is great to relax and just enjoy our time here.
Smiles from Portugal.
