o0o remains from the earthquake ... and I hope that the top arches are safe ... I am sure
they are ... hope they are ... perhaps some work to secure them ... but what a reminder of
this event ... I cannot imagine what it must be like to experience an earthquake of this
magnitude to cause such damage. Here sometimes ... very very very rare we feel the
earth tremble .... (stop smiling ;-) I know your humour oOo

right now all the convent structure and area around is being reinforced through a complex engineering program, Bev...

...and, don't be afraid of my humour which fades away under any earthquake's tremble :)

sometimes the results of the eathquake ... as with damage through war times
shows and keeps the experience for everyone to see .... I guess if this is renovated
carefully then it will or might be used again ... perhaps ... but surrounding buildings
might also have been affected ... when buildings are old ... oh dear they are
vulnerable ... perhaps even sometimes the damage is not seen very easy ...
it is a difficult situation ... but do you get many earthquakes of this nature often ?

your humour ... hehehe .... if another earth tremble occurs here I know it will
be coming from your direction ;-)))
