Our missionary church commute is challenging, but beautiful

A winding road, between the mountain and a steep drop-off to the river below, is the road we travel to our missionary church in Puerto Rico. The road is challenging, with its many curves, giving little room for maneuvering. 

It's a bit stressful when a big truck comes from the other direction!

Landslides sometimes can cause an hour or so detour.

But there are compensations. The greenery, bamboo along the roadside, flowering trees, and often, the dam ("represa" in Spanish) has a beautiful display of water flowing over it. Sometimes, after a torrential downpour, it looks more like chocolate milk! 

Sometimes landslides keep us from arriving at all. Fortunately, we have a faithful deacon and other church members who can fill in when these happen.
