August 11, 2007 Day 6
The day began early, as usual, as a few of us assembled at 6:30 for the morning walk. With Bert and Phoebe leading the way we stoll through the community of Agua Azul. The day dawns at 5:45 in these parts so everyone is up to greet us including the chickens, turkeys, horses and the dogs which seem to be everywhere.
Back at the hotel, we seem to be moving a little slower this morning. Some are starting to complain of stomach ailments. Apparantly Antonio had a rough night and our fearless leader Dave is definitely going to pace himself. Nonetheless, we arrive at the work site with our usual enthusiasm and ready to work.
The pace is a somewhat slow as Julio has to build forms before we can pour cement for the corner posts.We busied ourselves for most of the day with a number of small tasks. The work day ended around 3:00p.m.
It's Saturday in Santa Cruz.People are out in large numbers;there is plenty of activity and shopping for bargains seems to be the order of the day.
On our return to Hotel Agua Azul, we stop for snacks, pineapple and coconut all to enjoyed over a few well earned cervezas before dinner.
The evening ends around 9:00 for most of us, but by morning there are rumblings that a few in the group hung in there to solve the world's problems.
It was another great day for the team inSanta Cruz.
