They are fine, she wrote me this morning. I was lucky she was able to tell me they were home safe before she lost connection. And THEY were fucking lucky it lasted only one day, because they were in a small pueblo out nowhere and the water pumps had already stopped working. I'm not sure they fully realize.

Anyway I was looking at everything from 1500km away and seriously considering "alright what do you do if this takes longer". Bought a starlink and battery, was looking at solar panels and van rental options... It sounds so stupid to say but reality flips on you.
