Balakot

Here's Balakot, the epicenter of the October 8, 2005 earthquake here. Most of the stuctures you see are put up since the earthquake, there was absolutely nothing left except the frame of two-story cement building on the far right side. f Now there are new shops, etc, but so much destruction left. There's a couple of places where the smell is overpowering, and the local engineers told me that's where there are lots of bodies
burried, just by circumstance, or by a mass grave. : (

Lots going on though, with rebuilding, etc., and people are doing their best to keep going.

I gotta run to Islamabad. Talk to you soon.
