Hola Canadiences!
Today was a lot like yesterday, we woke up, went to work, worked... There was more work for us today, which was good. We also didn't have to do any rebar, much to Rachel's relief after she spent the night dreaming about it :S
Some worked on the roof, while others secured supports on the ground. It was an overall team effort and we got a lot done (see pictures).
There was the regular fight for the first shower which for the guys means whoever can run the fastest out of the gua-gua (van), aka Evan (no one really knows how he does it :) )
Some of us walked to the variety store-tuck shop thing and bought RD$ 15 Coca-Cola ($0.45)!
Now we're just hanging out, like always, the guys claiming they need their 1/2 hour down time after 'stressfull' devotions!!
Our buddy Billy brought us sugar cane, which most of us have been sucking on since dinner. It's a unique experience!
Until tomorrow, Rachel, Kristen, Belinda & Mallory (aka Malaria)
