Dad is still on his trek overland with a helper steering the vehicle in tow. They came around one corner to find a set of three speed bumps and Dad said poor guy behind both trucks caught air! Kind a scary… Then they hit a terrific rain storm that soaked them both. Pressing on thru they came to a place to stop for Sabbath and today Sunday found 2 of the huge tires were flat. They are over the halfway now but it could be a couple days as some of the worst road is ahead and its slow going. Can't wait till he's home even though I must admit having the bed to myself has been wonderful! A double is awfully small for 1 person in our family and try it with two and don’t touch the mosquito net or you’ll get bit. (more like eaten alive!!!) It's a double extra short Portuguese style bed.
Daddy just called at breakfast this am when he had breakfast they served him up bread and beans and a cabbage/greens dish with some kind of broth and 2 big hunks of fat which they said was not pig but cow (BUT FAT!!!) then he found out the beans had pig in them so he started on the bread (being vegan) thinking how am I going to get out of this one??? He couldn't leave it and then saving grace showed up! A beggar man begging for a meal and daddy moved over and had him sit up to a feast! He said his eyes were popping out and he was smacking his lips. He couldn't believe his good providence. He’s come by Dad a couple times today doesn't want to miss out on another possibility. Dad walked all over town and one tire shop could do it but is not open on Sundays. The other was open but it’s too big of a tire. As we were talking the man who could do it if he only would stopped by hopefully he will help. Dad said if he had the tools he would have already done it himself and they would have been long gone. He was cheerful though it’s just like being in Haiti.
