For all those people who have been asking, Cabarete and most of the Dominican Republic suffered no damage at all from the earthquake which devastated Haiti yesterday evening.

I did not even feel the two tremors that were widely reported as being felt by most people in the town but I knew something was odd when China, one of the maids at Swell reported feeling the earth shaking.  I checked the pool at the hotel and saw that the water was swilling from side to side and overspilling into the garden.

It all seemed like nothing really – no damage – so it was all the more difficult to see the devastation in neighbouring Haiti.  Today has just been a sad day all round.
