Well tomorrow we are on the road beginning our journey to... we're not sure yet. Unfortunately all of our efforts to get another visa extension on the truck and the trailer have failed and therefore we must leave the country for 72 hours before we can return. The confusing thing has been that for a while we thought we were going to get an extension, then the roads were closed because of the crazy political things happening here, and no we're still hearing conflicting messages whether we have to leave and cross one country border or two. So we are either going to Guatemala or driving through Guatemala on to Belize. We are in the process of importing the truck so that we will not have to do this again (hopefully!).
We will pick up my mom at the airport in the north of the country Monday night, then drive North Tuesday - asking at the Honduran border how far we have to go. So we're playing it by ear. The reason we have picked Sigel is that he is able to enter both Guat. and Belize, but not Mexico. So this way he'll be able to go with us which he is really happy about. He was not at all happy about the thought of being left behind with friends while we did this. He was so hyper tonight as we packed that I'm amazed he's even sleeping :).
We'll keep you updated along the way!
