And the adventures continue......(Sat.January 23rd,10)

Last Saturday we went out in service at the outskirts of town, with a beautiful sunshine on our faces, absorbing all the vitamin D we don't get in Oregon now. Summer and Lacey had offered their Ford Explorer to take 7 more, making a total of 9 brothers and sisters in a 5 passenger SUV. Richard and Art as gentlemen voluntarily offered to sit in the back, you can see the picture below hehehehe.

As we finished the territory we all decided to get back to downtown. Summer and Lacey mentioned they could bring the car to us so we could catch our breath and not have to walk. There we are........waiting and waiting, Summer came back walking to let us know they needed help. Yesterday at a gathering we found out that the following story originated from eating a delicious Dark Mint filled Chocolate while driving that few minutes before Jeannie had generously shared with them:

We all came to the rescue......turns out miraculously the car ended in a culvert or ditch because our sweet sisters were enjoying their chocolate. Some nice neighbors offered their help but they replied to them: "Thank you but we have some big friends with us", when Richard and Art bravely came to the manly rescue the neighbors with wide eager eyes said: "Si que estan grandotes!!!" which means "You were right, they truly are biiiiiiig!", our strong rescuers easily helped the sisters to get out of their predicament. They were sure glad some brothers were with us that morning. The whole thing was really funny and gave us something to laugh about for the rest of the day and up to now. Summer and Lacey, we love you dearly!.

That's our post for today. Thank you for reading our blog and hope to read your comments if you can. Our following pictures soon will tell the story, last Monday we had the opportunity to go to 2 amazing waterfalls and to the largest wide spread Ruins in Mexico called "Palenque", as a brief introduction to them: there are over 1,400 pyramids, they covered 10 miles in circumference and only 5 percent can be seen, the rest is still lost in the jungle and being excavated. The Mexican government has so many archaeological sites that there are not enough resources to uncovered them to the point that even some big companies like Nestle are sponsoring the excavation. Sadly, our days in "San Cris" are getting shorter so tomorrow we will try to post this next adventure.
