pluma hidalgo

Well, I m behind a little now...

It was a little rough getting to Pluma Hidalgo. I reserved a seat on a van going close to my destination...Well I arrived on time and found out to my utter dismay that they sold my ticket. I had no place to stay and needed to get on the rode in order to make it safely by late night... I eventually found a 2nd class bus going up and got a ticket, well it was 1.5 hrs late. Its now 4.00 and I have a 5-7 trip ahead of me...
The bus ride went fine until there was another broken down bus and we had to overload ours to help them out..That ended up being an extreme blessing. I was dropped in the middle of nowwhere,where there was a dirt road that I need to take. All vehicles had stopped for the night, my flashlight was stolen and It would have been a lonnngggg walk... After a quick prayer that I would get a partial ride I noticed to people over in the dark and went and talked to them...Joshua, who I didnt know was a member of the local church and had a ride coming so I gave em 10 pesos for a ride to the driveway, I know it would be dangerouse walking 2KM at night down a steep driveway which takes 40 minutes to walk.. Thanks God again, he loaned me his flashlight...So I lugged both my heavy packs down the driveway and listened to all the birds and bugs, when there I heard it, a large rustle right above me was walking through and following me and I was worried... I pulled out my knife for security and started running as fast as I could with my packs....
I made, with a loud whistle and there dog coming at me, I made it to my good friends, co-parents sometimes Frank and Mary Lous house in the jungle.
