Within CRMP, the weekends are for resting and preparing. There really isn't a full day off in between teams going and coming, but in between loads of laudry and packing and repacking, relaxation is found.
Yesterday; Wil, Yolanda Pedro, Pedro's cousin Andres and I all went to a local river for a swim and cool down. Some friends of theirs have a river basically in their backyard and they've created a sort of swimming pool by moving rocks and logs so that water accumulates. It was very fun, but I got even more sunburn!
The new team that arrived tonight is from Brandon, Mississippi. I have a feeling I'll be saying y'all on the regular by the end of the week. Wil and I went to dinner with them tonight and I can already feel it rubbing off on me. Southern drawl...Spanish....I'm gong to be all confused.
I am a little surprised that I am so ready to get back to the worksite. Maybe the fact that there are fresh new faces ready to work is a factor. It cant be that I want to lay MORE concrete. There are 9 new people here for me to get to know. I cant wait to see La Bonita through their eyes- especially the newcomers on their team.
Now that I have replenished my sunscreen supply, I'm ready for week 2!!
PS. My Haiti team will appreciate this..the water up on the mountain in La Bonita is some of the cleanest water in the country. I wish my water people were here to test it :)
