trench digging
Saturday, January 30th, 2010i had a very long post typed up and lost it all, so i will try to retype a bit.
we finished our first week of hard service work here in Pisco, i have been trench digging and jackhammering (yes i used the jack hammer 2 times!) in an effort to dig the foundation of a new house. the family is very nice, feeding us lunch and popsicles and drinks all day to save us from the hot son and no clouds or rain. it is so dry here there are water outages, one night we got back very sweaty and smelly but there was no water until the next day.
they are feeding us very well, excellent dinners every night with large portions which makes al very happy.
al is team leader on his project, he and his group are taking down a school and moving it to another location.
i cooked dinner for everyone with a few other volunteers, we cooked a pesto pasta.
chao a todos, cuidense mucho!
