SJ TGIF:

 

 

The town is getting back to normal. The Pesca Palapa will have to be rebuilt

 

 

Construction is back on track...

 

 

....fences are being repaired...

 

 

...and supplies are being brought in.

 

 

Antonio was finally able to get block ice...

 

 

...and bring in fresh milk!!! You forget how the little things in life can mean so much!

 

 

Richard was even able to buy fresh Bananas...He was thinking if he didn't get some fresh fruit soon, he'd die of scurvy!

 

 

Maria has set up a donation table out in front of her store. Just drop off what you can.

 

 

I went out to Bullfrog Greg's place. He's still selling Real Estate and now...

 

 

Renting his buggies out

 

 

Only $45 for the day. He is always selling something, but I don't think he is selling Bullfrog Products at this time

 

 

I took a ride to Cadeje and the strip is open and ready to receive supplies if anyone is flying down. It is in really great shape thanks to Mike Nizic and Marcos

 

 

The river is still flowing. The people down below are washing their clothes

 

 

Photos don't even tell the story as to how far the river flowed last week

 

 

It reached the school buildings in the foreground

 

 

The Military has taken over the other school in Cadeje and using it as a Barrack. Today was, "wash sheets" day.

 

 

I had to put this in: Terry Hanson shot this last Friday at Los Burros where the Gregorio turnoff is. This was another reason I didn't want to come in on Sunday. I had heard that this area was an issue, although a few brave souls went North of here and were able to crawl over and out then down to Purisima

 

 

It took Marcos almost two days and getting stuck with a huge loader to punch through this.

 

 

Overall, we can all count our blessings that no one "new", became a member of the "Graveyard Club" during Hurricane Jimena.

 

 

It is just so surreal that it seems so normal here in town when all around the surrounding areas, there are still folks who need help.

Boozie went to Constitucion today to buy supplies with the money everyone has sent to her via her Paypal account. She plans to come back later this afternoon and do the same thing she did earlier in the week packaging supplies for delivery to the Ranchos for tomorrow. She has another set of volunteers who will be able to take vehicles this time out with lots of supplies and will have the Quads go into the Ranchos to bring the supplies in as the back roads are still impassable.

Thank you all for your support and donations…have a great weekend!
