Another typical sunny 35 degree day in St. Vicente. All three teams had very productive days and are looking forward to having a big finish tomorrow. The true brick laying skills were evident today from many team members. We had an El Salvadorian turkey dinner tonight with all the fixings. It was terrific.
Tomorrow is the last build day as we will be having our closing ceremonies at 12:00. The remainder of the afternoon will be spent visiting a local orphanage where we drop of donated items. A couple more people have experienced some stomach discomfort, I think we are up to five casualties but all seem to be recovering well.
The only mishap today was a lost plastic ball. Tony kicked a little guy's ball onto a roof that was not accessable. All was not lost as the little guy had received one of Chris's soccer balls a day earlier and Tony paid him a dollar for his loss.
Bill made friends teaching English today, looks like he has a new career, Barry and Gerry may be staying an extra week as their masonary skills were on full display. And Jeff continues to be the most lubricated man in El Salvador as he has already gone through three tubes of sunscreen.
John Lindsay is still eating, Rahim has turned out to be an excellent translator, Ron and Jane hooked up again on the build site, Sasha got hit with the dreaded stomach ailment in the afternoon after Dave had spent the night hugging the toilet. Jillian was welcomed back to her team after spending a day with her dad Henry on Wednesday. Paul continues to lead his team in the tighest of working conditions and was the recipient of an El Salvadorian machete which was small for Paul's liking.
Our translator Jhonny went home early tonight to rest for our last day. Till tomorrow.
Tony Bennett
