Hola amigos y amigas!
Day 4 of the build was great and our team made a lot of progress! We had a nice breeze for many parts of the day and it was welcome with open arms. Our bodies have finally adjusted to the extreme heat & workout and we were ready for another day of shovelling and cement mixing! My back muscles are going to be so amazing after this trip :-)
Our team was sans Patty today so I had to fake being a Spanish translator again. I think it went well... no faux pas or terribly confused faces from our Salvadoran friends. Thankfully, Jane had her Spanish-English dictionary, which came in handy when trying to figure out what the mysterious pink-bagged drink was at lunch (the unknown word translated to "barley" which we are almost certain was wrong!).
Enrique, our mason, brought photos of his new 10 month old baby to show our team... very cute! The locals kids were out and about again and some helped us with a bit of shovelling.
Apparently, a small earthquake was felt midday today, but some of us thought it was the rattling muffler from a passing truck. Nothing too crazy!
Tonight, we're celebrating US Thanksgiving! The cooks had the best of intentions... looking forward to a turkey dinner!
Tomorrow is our last day of building. It's going to be an emotional day!
Ciao for now!
