Mexico Update #1

Scott made it across the border today. I guess that they had to jump through a lot of extra hoops at the border but they made it. The bus company was suppose to furnish bottled water for them but did not, so they had to make an unexpected stop... scary in this area... but all went well. The bus driver bought a bunch of water then proceeded to sell it to Scott and his passengers- nice! :-)

Part of the tracks for the train that they were suppose to board in the morning have been messed up from a rock slide. They are scrambling tonight to figure out their next move. They are in Chihuahua tonight and it is a bit safer than Juarez, but they still don't want to stay long there. They are having their welcome dinner tonight after going to a museum this afternoon.

Good to hear. Thanks for letting us know. I guess they are really going to earn their money on this trip! Hope you are doing well. I'll try to call tomorrow.
