Español corazón


Today, despite being referred to by the Habitat jefes (“bosses”) as a dura dia (a hard day; Nicaraguans often drop the “s” in conversation for words like dias), actually was fun for some of us.  The plan was morning breakfast and be at the work site by 8AM.  Minus scheduled breaks and a lunch we optimistically looked forward to finishing the house by 4:30PM.

Work Hard Play Hard

This blog comes to you from one of the two brother-sister alliances of the group: Cheyenne and William Farrell. 

Since today was our third day on the build site, most of us knew what we were doing when we got there. Yes, we needed instructions from the masons to ensure everything was done accordingly, but we no longer need to be taught the small things, such as how to make rebar. This helped move everything along much quicker!
