Lima, Peru, quite a few years ago. We spent about $2 U.S. We were on the 4th floor. The room did have a shower (cold water only), but you had to step over the toilet to get to it. After taking a shower the floor was muddy. At about 4 a.m., everything started to shake - terremoto (earthquake). We sit up in bed and hear glass smashing. We pull something on and run downstairs (We didn't know if this dump would collapse on us or around us). When we got to the lobby, the shaking had stopped. Apparently, the maid was a drinker and had stored a bottle on top of the amoire (sp?) and it had fallen when the shaking began. Very funny later, not so when it was happening.
