Day 6: Almost Done!

In order to start the day off well, one is required to watch the top music video hits on the TV which start for us at precisely 7:30. One of the videos this morning particularly caught our attention; Reload by Tommy Trash, was set in the city of Antigua, there were some shots of and old church that we pass by everyday and the various mountains surrounding the city. Apart from that early morning excitement, the family we were building for was very excited to see us (as usual). The daughter attending 5th grade, had finished the coloring book from last evening and her proud smiling face had touched many of our hearts. The work today wasn't nearly as painful as the first day of building and at lunch we tried to stop at nearby bakery which, unfortunately, had closed for a lunch break, so in order to compensate for the disappointment we went and got ice cream. After work and a relaxing shower, we all went to the local indoor marketplace to buy some extremely inexpensive goods including new shoes for the kids of our family as a nice surprise gift for them tomorrow. And the grocery store, as usual, was slam packed with people like sardines in a can, but we all made it and managed to make grilled cheese and left overs for our starving bodies. And now we all need to restrengthen our bodies and minds for one last day of hard work. So far I think that we all are getting along well and cooperatively which makes this trip so much more enjoyable.

Hope all is going well,
