Day 22

Today was again very frustrating as far as the construction end goes. Although I am confident things will be rolling tomorrow, I have a hard time understanding why they couldn´t today. As the end of the trip is nearing, I am beginning to get nervous that this project will be unfinished when we leave.

All of the plans have been set and promises have been made to me at this point. The concrete should be poured tomorrow and I should be receiving all the tools I need. Peggy is coming into town tomorrow and I´m going to make sure she gets the point across that I am feeling a little bit of pressure about time at this point.

I spent some more time cruising the city with Ephrian and some nap time on the trampoline. I watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith with all the girls and then relaxed and listened to my MP3 player while detailing my car. Today felt more like vacation than a humanitarian aid trip. Oh well, a week of long days awaits.

More and more I am becoming very accustomed to life here. After only 3 weeks this really is beginning to feel like home. It´s going to be somewhat of a culture shock when I return to the hustle of school and friends. In a way I´m looking forward to it, but in a big way I´m not looking forward to having to leave.

Anyone ever heard of ketchup on pizza? Ya, me neither.
