Oh, forgot to mention we had a little excitement yesterday. We found out that the reason they were late picking us up from the airport is because there was some political drama in the city. One of the politicians was shot and it closed down a bunch of streets. Lupe was very anxious to get us loaded and get the heck out of the city, which was a bit disconcerting.
There were more problems with mudslides this year, we ran into this last year as well where whole sections of the road just washed away. In fact, that is the reason we didn't go to the lake, the road was blocked by mudslides. We were near the peak of the mountain when it started pouring, and there was a lot of water washing across the road. I was afraid one of the car-sized boulders we saw from prevous mudslides was going to come down and crush us. Obviously we made it, but it was a little nerve-wracking for a bit.
