Day four, a roof and some stumps

This is the view I woke up to, pictures do not do it justice. It was nice to wake up after the long walk and feel so good. Even my knee felt good in the morning. We started work

early, a few of us on the roof of the building, others chopped down trees, removed stumps and built a couple of things in the area around the building where we were staying.

This is one of the places we used to bath. It was cold, I heard @50

degrees, not

sure, I only know my feet felt frozen a few minutes after being in there. It felt good though after working and hiking.

Finished!

It was interesting working on the roof. First of all, we had to adjust ourselves to how you build rustic. We also had to understand that way things work in the hills of Honduras. One example was supplies. We quickly ran out of boards, and were told that we would have some more in a couple of hours. What we did not know was that a local was making them as we worked. It definetly made me wish tobe more resourceful in my projects, we have it so easy.

It was also a chore to just keep fresh water. Below is a picture of the water filtering system we had. The water came from a tap that was a couple hundred feet from where we slept. The tap was fed from water a little higher in the mountains, but it flowed like modern plumbing.

Once the roof was on, the floor had to be leveled so it could be finis

hed the next day.

We ended the afternoon with a soccer game in a field that the locals use. Many of them came out to play with us. It was fun to just play, interracting with them, even if we spoke two different languages, we could communicate through the way we played. The night ended with a bonfire and some worship.

One more anxiety that I saw go away, I have a great dislike for sleeping in a place with bugs around, particularly spiders. I usually just toss and turn in that situation, but not this week. Indescribable what it feels like to feel things changing in myself during the week.
