We actually quit our construction work a bit early today to play soccer and have a fiesta with the masons and families. <br><br>Soccer was very fun and we learned that Salvadorans are exceptional soccer players. Some of us actually kept up with them!!! We also really enjoyed the papusas, tamales and fresh corn bread that the women made for us this afternoon ...

... can tell? We do have some soccer coaches with us!<br><br>Here's a message from a team member: Bob Ballard says: "Martha Ballard, I miss you!

... the work we left on Saturday. That means that Glenna will pick up her machete and keep clearing land, and Eric and Fran will go back in the holes they've been digging for septic tanks. Dennis is going to putting thin cement on the interior walls of a house, and Mike F. will probably still be hauling blocks and moving dirt. Hot? Yes. Dirty? Oh so much. Crazy fun and fellowship I did not expect? Yup.<br><br>Thanks for reading.

We all arrived from our various locations across the US and most of us ended up in Houston and then we took a plane to San Salvador. Some came through Atlanta but we all arrived safe and sound except for Mark who was not able to come in until late tonight. We also have one person that due to circumstances will not be coming until Monday night. I was the last to roll into Houston and I just made the ...

... I´ll be getting on the rode to either San Vicente or Alegria, and then on to Perquin and El Mozote in the north. From there I´ll probably be heading straight to Nicaragua (looking at you guys, Rob and Meghan). Well, hope you´re all well. For almost the first time I felt really homesick today. Don´t know what brought it on really, but it was pretty heavy. Take care, I´ll talk to you soon. PS, have a great time at Bloc Party tonight, Adam (and others going?!).

... to border crossing...El Salvador was great...I had my little amigo Luis who kept me company through the process and showed me where everything was...and although he asked me for a 200 dollar tip, I gave him 5 bucks and he was happy. Now we're in El Salvador!! Cool!

... and gave us lots of group hugs! The little girl was so sweet. I wanted to take her home and buy her an American Girl doll and tell her to go play. On our last morning Abuela got up early to make us coffee and she presented us with presents! She gave us both leather key chains stamped with the seal of El Salvador. We decided to part with a couple pairs of earrings for her and her granddaughter and she was quite ...
