FORT COLLINS, Colo.—A Colorado couple is back in the United States after escaping the unrest in Libya.
Mohamed and Cindy Worayeth (Or-ay-ith) returned to Fort Collins Sunday, four days after boarding a ferry to leave Libya.
The couple met at Colorado State University in 1977. Mohamed Worayeth, an engineer, had returned to work in his native Libya in 2009 and his wife joined him last May.
The Fort Collins Coloradoan reported that their ferry ride was delayed three days because of bad weather. When the boat finally began its trip to Malta on Friday, the seas were still rough. Mohamed Worayeth said everyone got sick on the eight-hour “rollercoaster ride.”
At first, only Cindy Worayeth planned to return home but her husband decided to leave too after seeing the crowds gathered at the airport.
