Day 4

Due to the lack of sleep I have been getting, I basically went into a coma and didn’t wake up until about 11 this morning. I felt terrible but David and his wife were happy about it and glad we got some rest finally. After a nice Chinese buffet lunch we headed over to the hardware store and loaded my car down with concrete, post-hole diggers, and other hardware needed to install the covered parking. Afterwards it was time to head back to Mexico and get started working – I thought. We got back and apparently the girls had overdosed on sugar and were not going to let me do anything but play. After the trampoline, basketball, soccer, football, card games, some game I never got the hang of, 4 square, hopscotch, some other weird game, and then goodnights, I finally got to work on digging the holes. And that my friends, is almost an impossible task. The ground here is so hard it might as well be concrete. We’ll see how the rest of that goes tomorrow.

It feels as if we haven’t gotten that much done during the time we have been here. But, we actually have. Most of the planning is done, contacts have been established, and we are getting used to the hot weather. I look forward to completing some projects so that I can feel like we have fully accomplished something. Other than that, my Spanish continues to improve and I think I am finally getting the hang of conjugating my verbs on the fly. It took quite a bit of practice but it seems to be getting easier everyday. I hope all is well in the Estados Unidos con mi amigos y mi familia. Adios.
