Exciting - Reliable internet.

We are now back in Santiago.  We have heard from the charity that all went well at the customs agents today.  The shoes were loaded on a truck and are expected to arrive in Santiago at 10 o'clock tonight.  Everything should be according to schedule then.


We've been told the Board of Accion Callejara had an emergency meeting yesterday and decided to pay the $600 customs fee.  We, of course, will reimburse them but they don't know that yet. (Thank you Sue B for always being so kind.)  We are so happy that everything has worked out after some scary moments.  The people at the charity seem to be extremely enthusiastic about the shoes and are so pleased that we are here and caring for these kids.  So we are clearly excited about the day we're going to have tomorrow. 

We realize that we really don't know how things are going to go tomorrow but expect to have lots of pictures and video when it's all done.

Many thanks to those of you who have been following the blog and cheering us on.  It means a lot.

And thanks to those who are being so supportive as we and Bree deal with the sudden loss of Tequila (our 12 year old chihuahua for those who didn't get the chance to meet her.)  Thanks Marnie for calling Bree.  She really appreciated the call.
