    Hi, Mom and Dad--I heard about the earthquake this morning and was worried about you. Did you feel anything? I guess the aftershocks were bad, too, they said. Love, Rachel

    By the way, I had looked up that book you recommended earlier, but they didn't have it at our library--I guess it was a good thing, since you later decided I wouldn't like it. Am reading PD James now. And Dave and I played whist in Richmond some. I don't remember the rules, but maybe we can learn when you get back. Love, Rachel

    Reading scary things about Japan... including a possible radiation leak at a nuclear power plant. Hope you guys are sailing to safety! This trip has really been a lesson in natural disasters!! Did you feel the shocks of the earthquake? Keep us posted.

    Your trip is sort of a reminder not only of how big the world is, but also how these flare ups of political tension (eg Egypt) and natural disasters (eg Japan) become much more real when you know someone there. I think I've become kind of numb to all the big news items because they flash across the screen in a sort of unreality. But the Japanese tsunami following the earthquake seems like it must have killed many thousands of people. What a tragedy. I'm glad you are both safe and that your ship didn't get a mega wave, Poseidon Adventure-style. (The Ernest Borgnine version, not the lame new one.)

    I am so glad that you are both fine - I hadn't signed on to your blog for about a week, and suddenly realized that you were going to be in the area. The most important thing, as Cliff said, is that the tsunami didn't affect you. It sounds so far as if the nuclear reactors are being controlled. Thank you for the postcard
