Our bus was early today so we got an earlier start. It was already hot and we got right to work on the digging and also some cleaning up in the school yard. The trench was going well but then one of the local workers punctured a water pipe, so we took our lunch break. There were stilll some post holes to dig and then we were working on buillding the rebar base for the trench.
We visited the classrooms again and were persuaded to play "Red Rover" and soccer and got lots of notes and letters to take home.
The children have a PA day tomorrow and they were reluctant for us to leave, giving repeated hugs and coming onto the bus.
Our hotel is about 15 minutes away from the school, in a small town right on the bay. They serve us breakfast and we have lunch at the school. Supper is brought in by members of the congregation and the evenings have been warm so we go out for a walk and ice cream. There is very little traffic and we feel safe being out.
There were several things that tried our patience today but we are prepared for another day tomorrow.
