I didn't do much work today, but the masons managed to finish the 10th row of block. It really is starting to look like a building now. We started with the usual huge breakfast, ran some errands, then went to the worksite. This morning was slow because the 7th course of block is special. The center is hollow and a piece of rebar connects each e...

Woke up really early this morning listening to an electronic siren going "whoop, whoop, whoop!" It did it several times. Then I lay here listening to the roosters crowing, the dogs barking, and the birds chirping. A lot more sounds than I hear in the morning at home.

Juan de Dios and I were up at 6 am getting ready for the drive to El Salvador. We were packed and at the door at 6:30, but the door was locked and we could not get out. We made a few phone calls while waiting for someone to let us out. I called Lisa and talked to her for a few minutes. Victor showed up at 7am and let us out of the hotel. The dr...

one of these times, we will get the border crossing right. we left antigua on a chicken bus and headed to guatemala city. the city is huge and full of cars, noises, smells and trash. the traditional dress of the mayan people slowly slips away as one travels east in guatemala and clothes similar to america start to appear. the weather is hotter h...
