What an amazing story.  One you can enjoy telling for many years to come.  Think of all those who finished without incident and got home with no final moments to celebrate.   

Plus you got a bonus warm bed to sleep on and probably fed a few meals.  

That is just absolutely wonderful.   Thank you so much for sharing.

And no, I am really not kidding.  While it probably seems like a bad deal now it will not be long before  this becomes a centerpiece of the legends of you and your family and friends,   only thing better wold have been for them to ship you back to Mexico and make thou start the walk over. :)
