Here are some pictures of Guadalupe, Ica, Peru from June 22, 2010. The earthquake occurred August 15, 2007. The white USAid tents and the ruins in these pictures are where people are still living almost three years after the earthquake destroyed their homes. I should have been shocked at the lack of progress in rebuilding the town but honestly it wasn’t a big surprise. The tents are far from the ideal home to live in. Temperatures go down to 50 degrees at night and in addition to the cold, the wind blowing the thick plastic (which is supported by a wooden frame) around would keep even a deep sleeper awake.
