The political situation remains much the same - tense. It has definitely cooled off some for at least over the weekend, but they say that things will heat up again tomorrow. Commercial flights are still not coming in or leaving... They are cancelling flights through Wednesday and we expect longer than that, as the government is supposed to release the results from the recount on Thursday... When Dad's found out yesterday that their flight was cancelled for the 3rd time, they decided to try to find another way out. God worked it out that they were able to switch their tickets to fly out of the Dominican Republic with no charge and they were able to find transportation for the 12 hour trip to the airport in Santo Domingo. So they left early this morning and are planning to fly out tomorrow, Lord willing... I talked to them a while ago and they were safely on the other side of Port, so hopefully the rest of the way to the DR border will be uneventful too...
