Mudslide Update...
Obviously by my first blog today, you realized that we did indeed get home safely and Doug and Judy made their flight! Many of you who read Beth's blog found out that we got stranded in Vilcabamba for an extra day due to a huge mudslide that blocked the only road home! YIKES! I have gotten a few emails about it today wondering what happened and so just wanted to give a quick update! We were really sweating it because of Doug and Judy's flight today. We even bought "muck boots" in the little town, because we were going to have to walk across it if they weren't letting any cars through! But, fortunately, they got it opened just as we arrived and we were one of the first cars to pass! I will have a video and photos later! We made it through OK, although some of the locals had to give us a little push at one part when we got stuck...It was rumored to be 2 blocks long and very high, it didn't seem that bad when we went through it, but then again, they had been working on it for a day and a half! What a relief! But, we only got back last night around 6pm and so Doug and Judy quickly packed everything up and headed out at 7am this morning! Just one of the many adventures we had during the week! Stay tuned....
