Shaking

Today's sunset. Well we cannot really make it from this pictures but it was a very beautiful sunset. It was beautiful all day long, in my opinion. It was sunny and warm, all very quiet and routine was just going smoothly. Well, now that I think of Lu was kind of complaining a bit for some reason that I didn't figure out. Maybe he was feeling what was about to happen. The earth beneath our feet just started shaking. It got very strong, but by that time we're already heading outside. It was quite something. It's really difficult to describe it, I never felt such power. It was not scary but really intense. Once more I realize how calm I am when distressing situations occur, which I look at as a good thing and hopefully the kids get it also. The only thing that startled me was the face of panic of the lady that comes to help with the cleaning and cooking. She wasn't even feeling it only when I called her. It all happened so fast. I'm really glad that we're home at that time, I wouldn't want it to happen when we're on the road or in the city nor near to many people (that would scare me!). The thing is that there is not much to do, just get out, away from the buildings and wait. The ground we walk on seems always so steady that we don't even think it can shake sometimes. And the forces to move  this steady ground is something beyond our control (like everything else as matter of facts). It makes us think how little we are. Afterwards, I was joined by the girls of the sewing workshop (just by our place) owned by our landlady that lives next door and then we went to check on our landlady. Everyone was alright hopefully!

Later we found out it had been a 6 magnitude earthquake... now I understand this number. It seems that in Denpasar, which is closer to where the epicenter was, some people were injured but nothing really serious. 

Bali rocks!! Sampai jumpa everyone.
