The roof is done!

I am so excited to be able to tell you all that the roof is done! We started working at 3 am last night (well really this morning) and finished about 10:30 am.

It was actually kind of fun, there is a regular group of Mexican guys that work on the clinic and they are really fun to work around. The entire we worked there would be lots of whistles and yelling, and it was a really cool way to keep the moral up and the pace going. I found myself shoveling buckets of cement almost the entire seven and a half hours. (except when I took a break ofcourse) Afterwards, we all had a meal together on the worksite. Almost everyone was just plastered in cement... and let me tell you that it burns when it sits on your skin.

Showering, napping, and washing my clothes were a great way to relax afterwards... and now email. It was a great way to end a week of hard work. But, tonight I am excited to go into town and get tacos... and they are not at all like the American version of tacos. Tomorrow I am headed to San Cristobal again for the weekend, for the group swapping of course. I can't wait for the 145 topes!

I can't believe I am on day 43 of my journey. I am going to be very sad when I leave... in just 11 days (i think?) I am trying not to count down... peace, and take care... by the way... check out John and Ginny's blog...
