Mexico Mission 2011

Friday, Oct. 21

Ray and I woke early to have a beachside breakfast with Luis, (keep following, the tough part of the mission will come). The rest of the day was spent looking at the different projects, becoming familiar with driving in Mexico, and acquiring material.

About 5:30 pm, our group began emerging from the air terminal. The first ones out were happy, unhurried, glad to see someone they recognized, it was a very relaxed atmosphere. As more came out through the bustle of cab drivers and time share vendors, the sense of urgency became much greater, some even looking over their shoulder as if being chased. HECTOR had struck. Men coming in with children's clothes, girls with tools and men's underwear in their luggage, was way too much for Hector today. Sheila and a couple others were detained, being threatened were alot more fees to pay. We finally all were together headed to the hotel where we ate and spent the night. More on this tomorrow.
