6/4/2017 2 Comments Hard at work...According with our new routine, yesterday we woke up at 6:30 not wanting to get out from under our sheets. We were all very tired from the previous day's work. When we arrived after our regular meat filled breakfast and 50 minute drive, Diogo and I stuck mostly to brick-laying while the others manually mixed cement and distributed materials throughout the worksite. Then for lunch we had our usual vast selection of either rice or spring rolls; and probably speaking for everyone on the team, we won't be eating rice again any time soon. I swear I feel like I'm becoming a rice. Once again we returned to our van and slept what we could before working again. At our arrival, we met two adorable twin baby girls. Sharing a bicycle, they waved and smiled at us as they passed by. It's truly unbelievably how every baby and child we meet is so cute. I always try to approach them and play with them for a while. We arrived and I felt a little sick but this morning I woke up and felt much better and ready for work. We took a picture with the whole family as soon as we arrived at the site. After laying just a couple of more brick layers, the foundation was finally finished! So now it was time to work on rebar. Bending and twisting wires was the rest of our day, and trust me it was just as exhausting as the physical work from the days before. By the end of the day we were tired, Diogo had made many new pig friends (that he isn't allowed to touch -Mrs. Brown!- ) and we returned happily to the hotel.

I love rebar, and pigs, but I am very pleased to hear that no-one is touching those little porkers! Time for hand massages and relaxation I think. You're doing a great job everyone. Well done. Have a lovely weekend together.
