They did mention the tremor (as they call it) felt quite strong and lasted pretty long. They are quite a ways from the epicenter so no significant damage occurred in the village.
The oven had already formed a hairline crack by the time I had left two weeks ago. I guess it's common when you pour two different layers of cement and different times (cement sides poured and then the cement poured over the dome).
The crack is a bit larger from the quake, but just a crack, nothing major and no smoke leaks or concerns for it's integrity.
They took it all with a grain of salt and laughed saying "At least we now know the oven (and the gazebo) are guaranteed for life!" They both withstood to 7.6 tremor.
On a separate note, they have been testing additional recipes and have been selling breads to the locals in San Marcos and have already expanded to include their clientele from nearby communities that also purchase their farm fresh eggs. They have agreed to use some of the funds we left behind to purchase a plastic bag sealer (smart idea... not bugs in the bread)!
Pretty cool!
But ohh how I miss the pizzas!
