I was away but now I'm back
Wakanomori and I went on a five-day holiday. We thought our phones would work in our destination--our phone plan said they would ... but they didn't! His at least worked for non-calling/texting purposes (e.g., taking photos, looking at internet) if we were in wifi range, but mine had decided to try to do an update and so it was a brick.
That's all right though, our destination was fascinating and fun anyway. It did, however, suffer bunches of earthquakes while we were there, including one that woke us up and kept our room shaking, although we were some 40 miles away, as the crow flies, from the epicenter. That quake was the worst in a century and cut all power everywhere.**
. . . Can you guess our destination?
**Fortunately for us, many people and establishments, having lived through a very, very extended power outage in the recent past, have generators--including the place we were staying and a number of nearby eateries. Many people don't, though, so there's this, or, for something completely based in the locale, there's this. I was grateful that even before the generator came on, the water was still running--near the epicenter, many people are without water.
Eventually I hope to have photos in some form to share, but in the meantime, here's a sketch of our street. I really stink at drawing cars, clearly (click through to see it bigger):

1) it's a wonderful place
2) you experienced the earthquake situation in real time and are an excellent reporter so we can learn from what you say
3) it's a wonderful place
4) it can use friendly visitors
5) I really hope and trust that despite the earthquakes you had a wonderful time.
I'm glad you're back safely, too.
*hugs you*

Nearest we've ever come was in the Vale of Assisi some years back and we weren't close, although it pretty much flattened the small town of Norcia Umbra twenty miles or so away.
Glad you had a good time!
