The Bentrotts have established internet access and Kim has a long post up tonight (Thursday) along with some photos. She describes their day before the earthquake, how it felt as their apartment settled, the sights and sounds and many trips they have made to pick people up, try to get them to hospital, get visitors to the embassy, etc. She also describes the destruction of the 6-story building that had held their offices, school, and college of nursing, and what it was like to watch men trying frantically to rescue those trapped in the rubble. It is too long for me to copy and paste here, but you can read it by clicking on this link to her post, Processing.
Although Kim is a doctor and not a journalist, if I could nominate this for a Pulitzer, I would.

Judi - thank you so much for posting a link to her story. I have just finished reading it and through the tears I prayed for their safety and courage as difficult days are still ahead. debi
What Kim probably didn't know is she is both a doctor AND a journalist! She writes beautifully.
