Over the River and Thru the Woods

Chad and Nadine made it to Trujillo around 2pm yesterday.  Nadine's flip flop didn't though. Not intact anyway. It was a casualty of their adventurous journey.   Because of the roadblocks the buses were not running directly to Trujillo. So they took a bus to La Ceiba where they had to get out and walk around a road block then get a taxi to the bus station.  But, the bus station was closed.  

In the end, after weighing their options they ended up hiring a taxi driver to bring them to Trujillo.  They encountered on more road block where it seemed the taxi would not be able to get around, but a little girl came up and told them she could show them a way around.  

They ended up having to cross a river a couple times.   A little boy from the village would go in front and wade and let the taxi driver know how deep the water was.  

But then they came to a steep enbankment where even several 4 wheel drive trucks were stuck....uh oh...but they all worked together pushing and the trucks made it up and then the truck drivers helped them and their little Toyota Corolla (that's two back tires were spares) get up as well.  Nadine's poor flip flop didn't survive the pushing and trudging through the muddy waters.  But they were able to make it here with no more problems!  

It was great to see them both.  We hadn't seen Nadine since last summer and Chad...well I've not seen Chad in 15 years.  So we were happy they made it and we enjoyed the afternoon and evening catching up!!
