From near the Gulf, we drove across to the Pacific today. In fact we took a 10 mile side road to go out to the Pacific coast, where we saw the very unpacific waves roll in, where especially Sophie enjoyed running around dodging the incoming water, and where she and Katie then promptly ran into each other, both falling in the sand just as the water was receding from it. Sand, water, and tears were everywhere. I have a couple video clips, but the connection speed here is way too slow for me to stay up longer and post them!
Came on into Tapachula after dark, arriving in the center after some little delay on the outskirts, and found the center packed with the fiesta. After the others settling in, and me locating my misplaced passport (I had unconsciously put it in the place I used to store it when traveling), we took a walk around the square where the celebration is centered, got something to eat (very good again), and returned to the hotel. Couple of pics from the square...I can't believe I got pics without showing the crowds of people.
Tomorrow we hope to cross the border into Guatemala in mid to late morning, and then have about a 2 hours' drive to Quetzaltenango, and the end of David and Amy's move. Some of the saints from there plan to meet us at the border when we cross.
The Yellow dot on the map below represents the location of Quetzaltenango, David and Amy's new home.
