the next day, there were some people here to pick us up. we thought it was going to be the red cross, but it was a colombian priest and a nun from a convept. i hadn t really gotten time to think about what had happened. i was still wound up. it s a huge continual emotion, like dread and then relief. i felt like there was going to be a point where i would have to dump all this stress and anxiety i was feeling, but at that point i was hanging in there, i think. i was hanging in there. we were out of the jungle and we were definitely in colombia. the u.s. embassy sent this jet for us, and then same day, they fly us to bogota.
