6.3
this morning at 3:30 am in central Italy there was a six point three earthquake. near the city's of L'Aquila and Onna was the epicenter. Although the quake waves reached out to Rome and Florence more than sixty miles away. the quake killed at least a hundred and left one hundred thousand homeless. (we slept through it). yesterday we visited the town of Pienza only a few miles from the two most involved cities in the earthquake. we are alive and well. After shocks are likely. And we will see if our along waited vacation spot of San Gimignano is still standing. This is the first earthquake i have ever experienced. Although i slept through it it was very scary to hear about it through the English teacher and the news.

You always were a really deep sleeper. I remember waking you up in the mornings, I would open the door and the kendall-is-asleep-stench would almost knock me over, and then, with a towl over my nose and mouth I would shake you until you either yeld at me or hugged me. Or, on the days when I wasn't feeling up to the whole process I would just shout from the doorway until I saw your little furball head move about. I'm not surprised the earthquake din't wake you, but I'm glad you're safe.
