Day 7

Long day for us, made it 500 km today even with a 3 hour hold up to replace our suspension. Today we had some of the worst roads yet, can't believe the size and number of the potholes! Had fun playing with all of the kids while we waited on a part to be delivered from a neighboring town. Also got interviewed by the state newspaper and the national news!! Witnessed a very upsetting event later in the day, saw a man getting beaten by a mob in the middle of the highway, all very concerned for him but too afraid to stop, didn't know what to do. Ended up driving well into the night and tried to book a room at the only lodge in town. Police came and got us and told us not to stay there but that there was a Christian hospital that would let "people from our country" stay there. So here we are at a hospital for the night...
