She's home, safe and sound!! I posted this to MoJo:
She made it home....and it turns out the Embassy in Ecuador was on standby to go get her and her friend. Sheesh. You should hear how they got out, though...too long to tell on here, but it was rather interesting. They were "adopted" by an Eucadorian family so they could get across the border. It worked.
Oh my gawd.....Gummy, the things a Mom doesn't need to know til MUCH later. Glad she is safe and sound.
