Earthquake in Jaisalmer

Nor­mally when Cesca asks me, “Did the Earth move for you darling?” it has cer­tain con­nota­tions, but not today.

Today, here in the sand­castle desert of Jais­almer, the earth REALLY moved as an Earth­quake hit the town.  Scream­ing and people run­ning fol­lowed the shak­ing outside.

For us?  We have been in a few now and we simply stood under the arch­way and then went back to bed.

“Should I go check out­side?” Cesca asked.

“Yeah, and if it’s Pakistan nuk­ing the mil­it­ary base nearby, try not to get any on you…”

Thank­fully noth­ing was dam­aged, but I won­der how many of those the old fort can take?

Basho

PS.  It was only a really small one, so don’t worry about us mum!
