Honduras Landing

In 12 hours, Cary will be in Honduras on a mission trip. I'm not so much concerned about security or terrorists, but moreso about way of life dangers such as the way they drive in the mountains on old buses with steep cliffs on each side, taking a shower without getting water in your eyes, mouth, or nose, and the big one everyone's been telling us about...the landing of the plane! Apparently, the airport is in between the mountains, so the pilot has to come over this tall mountain and make a hard turn and quick landing on a short runway. Cary was like, "I don't really see why that's such a big deal." To which I replied, "Then why are there 1640 videos on YouTube of planes landing in this airport???!!!" For some reason I can't get the youtube video to post here, but here's a link of a plane landing there...

that is BIZARRE...i saw the clip. i am not too much on flying. i do it when i have to, but bennet on the other hand has to with his job and i have worried when he has flown in some bad conditions and questionable planes and scary landings. we will pray for Cary's safety while he is gone. glad he got to go - i guess he got his passport at the last minute!!!

HA HA HA! I bet Cary loved every minute of it. I know that I would have. :) I would have also been trying to figure out a way to get down there where those people were to watch the next plane land.
