Stuck in Wuhan... For a little while longer.

We have been trying to leave Wuhan for hours. We got up at 630 am. It's now 5 pm. It's been raining for 2 days. Lots of rain. I am currently in a taxi with jack and Eli. Boyd and Seth are hopefully in a taxi close behind us. And the other 2 families we are traveling with are hopefully close by also. We are trying I make it to the train station by 7 to catch a 4 hour high speed train to Guangzhou. Our flight to Guangzhou was delayed... Then canceled. By the time we secured our train tickets the rain has let up, but our plane was never allowed to come in, so the train is our option. We have passed an overturned bus on the highway to the station, as well as 2 men who have pulled over on the shoulder and stepped just over the guard rail to pee. We were told it's about 1.5 hours to the train station.
Wuhan is a very large city. 6 million people live in the city. We have some Chinese written on a peice of paper with the name of the train station on or, because there are many. We are at the mercy of all the kind people who are trying the best they can to help oir group of 13 Americans! Wuhan is a lush green huge city. I don't mind seeing it again. The train might be fun too....
