Wow, such a beautiful view!

Of the Andes mountains.  We're in Chile.  A volcano has spewed ash and the plane was unable to land in Uruguay.  We spent an extra two hours or so, first flying to Mendoza, Argentina to refuel then landing in Santiago, Chile.  We have found a nice (and safe!) hotel courtesy of American Airlines and the earliest we might leave tomorrow is 1pm (11am your time).  Unfortunately, we missed painting the church today and will miss spending time at the retirement home tomorrow.  I believe we're planning on sacrificing part of our free day to visit the elderly and give them some blankets we made and some hats donated by a wonderfully talented family friend, Mrs. Kathy Solomon.  We are all especially tired (most of us have had around 3-4 hours of sleep last night), so I must hand over the computer and catch up on sleep.  Link to the Facebook page (click on the title of the previous blog entry) to view photos!  God bless.
