Quickly...

I dont really have anytime but thought i should write something seeing as im on the internet.

Another hard day at the building site today. Almost ready to start concreting the floor which we might be able to do on Monday which should be good fun. We dont have the luxury of a concrete mixer though so its all spades and big piles on the floor... We took down a roof today, dug some trenches and laid down a load of piping so i was a plumber for the day. The school yesterday was amazing, the kids were amazed by this group of foreigners and couldnt stop staring. When i whipped out my camera and took a picture i was surrounded by kids wanting their pictures taken which was great fun.

The staple food here is frijholes (or something with similar spelling) which is some kind of bean (bit like kidney beans usually eaten with rice or a tortilla). They usually have it pressure cooked and mashed up. It´s absolutely revolting. Unfortunatel its about all we can afford so we are having it every day. I am just forcing myself to like it though.

And come on you R´s for beating swansea! I will wear myt QPR shirt with pride tomorrow.

No more time im afraid. All is good, nice and hot, loads of moscito bites (2 really bad ones on my righjt arm about 15cm wide) but generally life is awesome.

  1. Hello Joel!

    It's 2 am in the morning and I'm at work but having a break and reading your blog! It's really good to hear what you've been up to. Sounds fun! (And tiring too!)

    When I was in ecuador I had this clear ish soup but then when we ate around half we found that it had a random lump of liver in it. So be grateful for beans! Much better!

    Love you lots
