Today Willmer took us back to Mexico. We were all a little nervous about making it there safely but the trip there was fine. We took the forms off the stove we made yesterday so now it just has to set a little longer before they put a chimney on it and it will be ready to use.
We also picked up a lot of garbage around the daycare center. There is really no garbage pickup here, especially not in the rural areas. So garbage just gets thrown on the ground everywhere. We picked up quite a bit and hopefully they burned it today before it blew all over again. It makes me so sad to see all the litter everywhere and I was glad we could help clean up a little, especially all the pieces of glass around the center.
Some men from the community rebuilt the little room we ripped apart yesterday. I got to help rip nails out of the boards we tore off and then a few of us got to help put the boards back up on a sturdier support. The men also put a new roof on it but Fred didn{t want us climbing on the roof so we just let them handle it.
It got really windy for a bit this morning and poured rain so we were nervous about getting stuck on the way back this afternoon but we made it just fine. They did stop and get out tools at one point. We don{t know what was wrong but they messed with something under teh hood for a few minutes and then we kept driving. We made it back safely!
We are leaving San Carlos tomorrow morning to ride a boat down to the rain forest! We{ll be there Thursday and Friday night and have to take a 3 am boat back to San Carlos Saturday morning.
I am not sure when we will have Internet next but will be sure to blog again when I can.
