Thanks, mudslide!!

So here´s the story of the day....
It´s the rainy season as we all know. On Tuesday, Brian and I tried to take a two-hour bus ride to the nearest town to shop for veggies and use the internet. Attempt one failed ultimately because of a strike - it never showed up. No prob, we stayed home for the day and popped in a movie. Attempt two, today, started out hopeful. We made it about 40 min on the bus before a large mud slide blocked us from continuing. Turning around (PROPS to the very safe and accomplished bus driver), we head back to Sicchez only to find ourselves blocked again by a large tree that had just fallen onto the road. So, out we go and walk back to Sicchez (not far). Determined to contact our loved ones, we decide to go to a different town. We walk the 5 hour unrelenting steep trail up to Ayabaca, drizzling rain, clothes drenched (although not cold) and here we finally are, satiated and happily typing away. But, thanks to the mud slide we have decided that the exercise up to Ayabaca is great and we´re never going to take the bus for a day trip again. It´s Ayabaca from here on out. And in the dry season we can ride our bikes up! Happy endings all around!
Thanks for your comments, it´s great to know you´re all reading the blog.

In response to one of the comments...We are excited to hear that some RPCV´s are going to come up to our neck of the woods, especially a couple! We would love if you two could come visit us in Sicchez!!!!!
