ROAD CLOSED!!!! This is the scene on the Pan-american Highway heading north to Cayambe, the road we take in our travels up there. This landslide and road closure is a result of the most recent earthquake and its accompanying after shocks. Simeon and Joel discovered this problem this past Monday as they were traveling to Cayambe and could not get through and have since learned that this road closure could last up to 6 months. THIS IS NOT GOOD! We have heard that an alternate route could potentially take us up to three hours to get to Cayambe, a trip that is normally one hour. Please pray for all of those affected by this landslide/road closure, including us as we don’t know how it will work to be making regular trips up there.
