Tremors

As it turns out, Santiago is on a fault line. Its a little one from what I hear, but it means that there are tremors all the time. Up to this point, I have slept through all of them. I thought maybe this was because I am a ridiculously heavy sleeper or something. But then, this happened:

rumble rumble rumble

Me: "Hey did you feel that?"
Friend in room: "Yes. What was it?"
Me: "Was that a tremor?"
Friend: "No, I think it was just a really big truck rolling down the street?"
Me: "You mean, like, a giant enourmous monster truck that we can feel five flights up? And that we've never felt before?"
Friend: "Shut up."

So tremors....not such a big deal?
