Monday morning

The morning opened up early, as usual, because our tour day was over and it was time to go back to work! Work on my site had moved on; we were no longer digging the trenches needed for the foundation, but filling them with concrete, and later, bricking them up as well. While mixing cement was a nice change of pace from the digging earlier, doing it out in the sun was harsh. At the same time, there had been a thunderstorm that night, so the ground was wet and muddy. However, skies were clear for the rest of the day, so that problem was swiftly remedied. In another house, some walls had been partially built up, and it was time to tear the former walls down. Unfortunately, one was too close to one of the freshly built brick walls, so both came down! It was a full day's worth of bricks, but in the long run I suppose it wouldn't set us back so far. For lunch, our meal was fish in a chili sauce along with rice, which was very tasty, as the food usually is! But the morning was over, and it was time to go on. -Daniel
