Today Kelly and i decided we were going to go visit our friend Pastor Danny out in the city of El Nino. along the way, Kelly wanted to show me this cool dam near a city called el florido. Along the way to the dam, we off roaded on some of the streets that were asphalt last week, but because of the rain, there was mud covering them.
Finally after driving around the whole city looking for the dam, we stumble upon the street that takes us over it. It was really cool to drive over because the road was super small and when other cars drove by, i held my breath to maybe make our car a little more slim.
After the beautiful drive over the dam, we headed out to el nino. When we got to pastor danny's house, we realized that no one was there. so kelly and i thought for a minute or two about what to do now. so we headed over to his other church. The road to rojo gomez is a dirt one, with a river running across it. The river now over flooded became a lake. a lake that i had to drive across in my old 4 runner. i stop and ponder if i can make it, while kelly keeps urging me to charge it. we notice that there are a few people at the edge of this river/lake and we didnt know what they were up to. i decided that they were there to watch people try and make it through the mud and water and maybe to see someone get stuck and laugh at them.
A van pulls up along side, then make the drive through the lake. He made it, so i figured i could as well. About half way across the lake, the water is splashing over my hood and mud covered my window. we make it across, but only because i did not take my foot off the gas for a second.
no one was at that church either, so we had to make the drive back through all the mud and that river/ lake thing. this time i drove across the deeper side, but i didnt know it was deeper. i didnt think i was goin to make it this time, but some how i did again.
We decided to go visit our friends at caravan ministries in el florido. We got lost trying to find them, but eventually made it to their place safe.
By now kelly and i were tired of driving and off roading and just wanted to make it home. so we headed home and got some tacos along the way at our local taco stand.
