This house is up high in the foothills where we hiked. There are no roads. They have a guest house and we're adding on rooms and a shower and toilet. You can see this is a new building. The wife told us that the entire house shifted downhill with the earthquake. She held her hands apart about 1-2" to indicate how much it moved. Then she shook to say how scared she was. Her husband and niece are repairing the walk that was in the process of being built when the earthquake hit. The slabs were cut with some type of electric saw. The rest is done by hand.
The wife.
Another woman was laying sheets out to dry on the roof.
Straight behind her is a steep cliff overlooking the rhododendron forest. The flowers had just past bloom at this altitude and were in bloom a little higher up. 
U.S. Standing by the cliff. We were careful not to back up too far.
