Mi primero temblor (my first earthquake)

I experienced my first earthquake yesterday in Mexico! I was in Valle de Bravo over the weekend and the earthquake came while we were at dinner last night. It lasted about half a minute and was pretty significant. I saw the lights swaying, the trees moving, felt the ground moving even though I was sitting down... I felt like it lasted a long time but later read on the internet that the duration was only 25 seconds. The epicenter was near the west coast and it measured about a 6 on the Richter scale... pretty crazy stuff. It made me have weird dreams last night
