May 30

Since we have no food in the house we head to the supermarket. Looks like our town of 12,000 is now down to one and a half supermarkets. We used to have 3 decent ones, one closed and one is on it's last legs.

As we walk in one of the security guards exclaims and hugs me. It's Carlos and he brings us up to date on whats been happening in his life. As we're talking Masias walks by. He doesn't wave. But then Masias never waves, more about him later.

We're looking at something when I feel someones arms around my waist. I look down and see Ricardo hugging me. He and his wife bring us up to date. We see and greet a few more people all who act very glad to see us and we realise that we are really home.
