The swimming pool

We woke at 7 this morning, because the hotel was shaking for a couple of seconds. We found out later the real center of the earthquake was on the opposite side of the bay, 4.7 in magnitude. I couldn't sleep any more. Not used to the earth shaking I was wondering if it would be necessary to leave the hotel or not. I listened for sounds in the hotel, but all remained quiet. I hope that's it...., we already twice felt a little tremble before.

When we got up the rain just stopped, so, though still cloudy, we decided to go to the pool anyway. It didn't look too bad and the weather on some days is very unpredictable. After nearly an hour we felt some tiny drops, they got a bit bigger and we went to the porch to wait and see and continue with our books there. When the rain started pouring down we went inside.

After lunch weather was better and I managed this shot one floor down from ours, where there's a window with pool view.

What will tomorrow bring? Or tonight. ...
