For those of you following Facebook and blogs, you know that we have had trouble with the highway in front of our houses.
Many have asked how far down does that highway go.........well, I did not take this photo but copied it from a friend's Facebook. If you look at my photos from yesterday, you will recognize the hanger in the center of the photo. Lisa and Kemmel's house is very close to that and I live one block over to the left.
Several of us met at the Dunham's house and walked through the hanger to get to an area where we might get onto a bus to go to Lemoa. Lisa leads the way as we set out.
We want everyone to know that we are safe but it seems that we never have a boring day. This is Lisa, Maria, Martina, Maury and Sandra.
Where we are walking, is not a road nor is a path. This has just developed from the multitude of people trying to get where they need to go. People tried to get through using bikes and motorcycles but believe me, they too can get stuck in the mud........and speed does not help :)
People arrived in tuk-tuks and mini-vans, then had to walk to the other side, while carrying their goods, in hope of catching another tuk-tuk or mini-van to Chichi.
With all of the rain, you can see how high the corn has grown. Before we left, people had started walking through the rows of corns because there is less mud there........believe it or not.
We soon found out that the road going to Lemoa was closed......there was no transportation on that side. As Kemmel would say, "What a bummer!" We gave it a good shot but could not make it there.
We soon got word that the road on the other side of our houses is also falling in. It is the road that goes to Clinic ASELS.
We will have to see what happens over night. Lisa and I hope to make it to Patziibal in the morning with some of the promoters. Kemmel has a plan of how we can do it...............so we are going to do it, as we pray for success and safety!!
