Sitting at Kona airport, hoping we’ll get on the next flight to San Francisco. Love Hawai’i, but we’re running out of cash and there’s cars to be sold, people to see and lives to return to.
The news was quite clear: Angangueo was hit by a severe storm and mudslides caused the entire town to be washed away, evacuated and the residents refused to return. The town is alive and well, despite the damage and loss of life, and Simon’s Restaurant is still here. There is considerable damage as you head north out of town, with whole sections of land cut off and isolated, but the locals are carrying on.
