Earthquake Today

Today the earth shook. One quake and then an aftershock. My friend Gede chased everyone out into the street in case the building collapsed. No damage in Ubud, but some damage and injuries in Nusa Dua to the South. People here remember the earthquake of 1976 which killed over 500 people around Singaraja and caused horrific destruction.

We went and looked land today and yesterday. The land we saw today in the North part of Ubud is very nice with a rice field view. Too expensive for us. Yesterday we looked at land that was right next to someone raising pigs. They were also burning garbage.

My friend Kartika offered us the use of his land. It is spectacular, but is in Gianyar, about a 30 minute drive from Ubud.

We are still falling asleep before 20:00 and waking up at 06:00
