We heard that the deadline for the move was March this year and it has now been extended to May. This is when govt help stops. Hello Aai/Daddy, We took a ferry from Puerto Montt to Chaitén as the northern part of the Carretera Austral was closed. Once the demonstration ended, we were able to follow our course South and we are now about two days from the Argentinian border. Hello Katherine, Thanks for the compliments. Do you remember when we posted our first video on the floods in Costa Rica, a spur of the moment video taken on our point and shoot camera? You commented that we should do more video. We took that seriously and spent a lot of time improving our video techniques. We like to think we have come a long way from that first attempt! Thanks for providing us with the motivation to learn something new! Hello Fred,

In general, people get attached to the place they call as home and are reluctant to quit the area. So, I do understand where they are coming from. On the other hand, the govt. has to take into consideration the safety issue as well. It is a no win situation. It was nice to hear your voices after a long time. With the road being blocked, what route did you take to move on? We are missing you both very much and are waiting to hear about further plans. Aai Shreesh and Neena,

Deep recession may lead to depression. Millions are unemployed. Obama is proposing Trillion dollar incentive to create jobs. So USA is in its own woes. News from Chile is rarely reported. When are you returning back? Take care. Daddy USA is in great economical turmoil. Deep recession may lead to depression. Millions are unemployed.

You would think that an exploding volcano would be of some news value. The dislocation of a village is also newsworthy. Nothing here!
