So this morning we drove to the store to pick up some supplies. Yeah, that's right, WE DROVE. The diff is in and now one day shy of five weeks, we will be leaving Manzanillo. (cross your fingers!)
The past five weeks has really tested us. Every inch forward has been a struggle. We don't even want to write about it. Lets just say that Fedex Mexico and Mexican customs is at the top of the list. We pray that we never have to ship something internationally again.
We have so many people who have gone out of their way for us. We cannot thank Alberta Land Rover enthusiasts Dave and Bill enough. You guys made this happen, without you both we may have had to ship the truck home. We have and will continue to drink many cervezas in both of your honors! We also need to say thank you to Chris and Brian for pulling a used diff to help get us out of here (but, it was later turned back by another shipping company - considered dangerous goods)
So tomorrow we leave, we're heading across the heart of Mexico to the caribbean coast, about 2400km.
Wish us luck......twice
I have prayed for this day,love & god speed to you, Mom
