The rock was incorporated into design of the church and is still there ...

Fonz's bag which was tied to the roof but it softened all dirt banks on the side of the road, causing torrents of rushing water to flood the road and mini landslides (kind of unnerving when your van has semi-flat and balding tyres) Elle pretty much spent the entire trip with her head buried pretending that it wasn't happening!! This set back lengthened our trip by about 1-2hours so when we finally drove into the outskirts of Puerto we were more than relieved!!!
