How could I forget?

Way back when I was writing about our hike to the bulong villages I somehow forgot to mention that at 4am or so on the second day I woke up to the house shaking. Everything was shaking. I was in a daze and wasn't sure if I was dreaming or not, so I went back to sleep. Minutes later, I woke again to the same movement and again I quickly fell back asleep. The next morning I asked everyone about it and no one had felt it. I was convinced I was dreaming or maybe some large pigs paraded under the house. When Wade and I returned to Jinghong we learned on the news that there was a major earthquake. It was 80km (that's under 50 miles... less than an hour away!)from where we were, 180 thousand people had to be evacuated, at least 3 people died with another 300 being injured. My heart goes out to all those affected.

It was my first earthquake and every one but me slept though it!
