Peace after the Storm

We've decided to go ahead and stay in Sucre for now. Things are getting back to normal. Everyone pulled together to clean up the streets. In the interim volunteers took over law enforcement duties. Even most of the released jail inmates returned voluntarily. The banks opened up, and the police returned yesterday, which was our chief concern. And we were all getting sad about leaving. We've come to love it here: our school, our church, the people, our hotel apartment, even the barking basset next door. It's beginning to feel like home.
