Day 3 and 1/2

We crossed the US/Mexican border at approximately 3:30 pm. About three miles outside of Tecate on Hwy 3 Todd started to notice smoke from one of the trailer wheels. We pulled over and discovered that the wheel bearings and hub were damaged. It was decided to park the trailer at a restaurant just up the road. The owner of the restaurant allowed us to keep the trailer on their property as long as necessary.




So now we had to remove the contents of the trailer into one of the three vehicles with 25 people. The white van ended up with 21 people crammed in it with lots of luggage. That's right 21 people and luggage in a 15 passenger van! It was a very funny site. Good thing we were in Mexico where we really didn't look unusual!! :)








We arrived in El Porvenir at about 8:30 pm. It was a very long day especially for the younger travelers who have never experienced a trip like this.
We ate a fast leftover dinner because most of the food could not be taken with us due to the limited space in the new 21 one passenger van.
In bed at midnight! The plan for tomorrow is to sleep in late, and go to church. After church we are going to spend the afternoon at the orphanage.
Great day. Sorry about the quality of the pics and grammar. I'm writing this fast due to the lack of Internet time available.
