Hey, Thanks for sending the money as it seems like my only hope to get out of here. The ATM's are still not working. Did they say how long it would take? I will check my e-mail in the morning before I go to western union. At this point I am ready for anything- if it takes a few more days-so what. The owner of the hotel has invited me to dinner with his family tonight, and I am looking forward to it. They treat me as a family member. I think because I helped with the cleanup, and have been here for longer than most people. They are tremendously nice people, and have restored my faith in people after the border incident. It was nice to hear your voice, and I look forward to being home. Until then, I will be enjoying myself in Mui Ne.
