What a day. This morning's work was intense. From like 7:30 until 2, we did back breaking work, trying to get the beams up. We dug deep holes and mixed concrete for the holes. Now I know why they invented Quickrete and cement mixers. I did not stop working for more than 20 minutes the whole day. I finally got the gravity of the situation. We weren't just doing work and digging holes, we were building a school. We were making a life better. It was quite powerful when it clicked.
But contrary to what they say, those good deeds went unpunished. I am currently sitting at the most beautiful beach, drinking a beer and watching the people from our delegation. This does not suck.
I just swum in the Pacific ocean for the first time. What an experience. It proved to me that I am drawn to the beach and the ocean no matter what. It's not just my Pirate soul in the Atlantic.
Its kind of hard tobelieve that so much poverty exists here sometimes. I guess they build these hotels for the Gringos to stimulate the economy. I just ordered lobster, and its only about 200 cords, or ten dollars. I guess this is my spring break experience. I would rather just have one or two moments of this and still help others. This is more my personality thanthe all inclusive things.
Well, back to enjoying the day.
