BLOG #16 30JUN
It is all done!! After Veracruz clinics some of our new friends
(Ana, Carmen & her husband Jesus) went to dinner with us and we
walked around Veracruz. As always, we found ourselves at the top
of the Colonial Hotel overlooking central Veracruz and walking the
Malico. What fun. Then it was the crazy adventures of
driving to PĂ©njamo from Veracruz (and back). Long hours and
not many road signs (spells lost!). We got there (including
past burning vehicles) and it was worth it. Great fun at clinic
and our off day (great dinners, tour tequila factory, relax in the
country). Then its back in the minivan ... opps .... broke the
transmission oil pan ..... so make that 8 hours of Mexican car repair
($8.75 labor and $50 parts .... less than the cost of
a tank of gas!!) and THEN we drive back for 10.5 hours (yes, in the
dark). Wow. What fun. We organized
donations and then packed for home. Hope to see you
soon in Mexico! Curtis
