The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round, and Round!

 This was our bus in 2011 - I hope it will be the same type on Tuesday!

Prayer Needed

This morning, September 3, we are taking our 2 year old grandson on an 18 hour bus ride.  Just call us crazy!  We have to be at the bus station by 3am, as it leaves by 4am and is supposed to arrive at 9pm into Guatemala City.  This will be a long day.  We have to cross into 2 countries before finally reaching Guatemala.  The stops will be

• Nicaragua/Honduras border
• Honduras/El Salvador border
• El Salvador/Guatemala border

All in all, it will be a good 18 hours (hopefully not any longer) leaving Managua, Nicaragua, changing buses in San Salvador, El Salvador to continue on to Guatemala City, Guatemala.  We have a lap top with us, and we're borrowing plenty of Veggie Tales and Thomas the Train videos for David to watch.

As the crow flies, it is 470 miles between Managua, Nicaragua and Guatemala City, Guatemala.

Pray for a 

• well behaved toddler
• smooth border crossings (we have legal documents signed by Ellen and Luke to give us permission to travel with our grandson).
• Dry underwear.  We started potty-training David several days ago, and he is doing great.  Sure hope the on board bathrooms are decent.
