The sound of tires grew louder as tension grew higher. Until a great wind of relief blew over us. They drove past us phew the relief was overwhelming. I struggled to stand as the relief had turned my legs in jello. But once I regained my footing I looked at our guide. He was deep in thought, probably deciding what to do because we couldn't continue to walk our original route unless we wanted to risk being caught. Once everyone began to regain their composure he spoke " We'll need to take a longer route if one truck comes, others will too. This way isn't safe anymore." We all nodded in agreement although the idea of having to walk more than we needed to was dreadful. But we persisted. I mean what other option did we have? Our group was on edge the rest of the day and because we were on a different route we didn't have a dedicated safe house for that night. So for the first time ever I slept under the stars.
