Wendy update Jan. 30th - Like Rock Stars

My new friend Justin showed me how to connect to the wifi with my
phone.  I already burnt up one of my voltage converters. It partially melted.
Not all the way but it was hot and soft.

Going to get a break for a couple days. Going back to the beach.
Seeing the dogs on the street is tearing me up. They are all crawling with fleas really bad. They look so sad.

We are all sitting in Justin's room telling balloon stories.
having a good time. Really bonded with our crew. Everyone is so nice.
Danny and Dominic flew tonight. Very fast flight. 10 or 15 min. Landed
in an area that was like going on safari. Incredible. Had to break the
system down and carry out but had lots of help. The Chilien Companeros
were there. They are the national police bomb squad. They helped too.

When we left the landing area there were probably 20 women with
children on the corner. They ran up to the truck and held their babies
for me to kiss. the ones old enough stretched up to the truck so I
could kiss them. Rodrigo our interpreter said we are like rock stars to
them. He said a lot of the people have never been out of their town
 or even to the capital, Santiago.   Incredible experience.

More later
