#6 - Working the Chain Gang

Day 2 at the build sites brought sun, wind and lots of hard work. We are finishing up the brick work at most sites and that means pouring corners and wall tops. Mix the cement, put the cement in the bucket, pass the bucket to the next person, who passes to the next person and so on down the line. Some of us were filling in floors with dirt. That used the same system. Shovel the dirt into the bucket, pass the bucket up the line, dump the bucket.

We again worked at 4 different sites and got to know the families we are building the houses for. Today directors of Habitat from the USA and Mexico visited and had lunch with us. They wanted to see how the Lenten build was going and what we thought of the program.

Back to the Quinta River Motel, some went swimming (ok soaking) in the pool. Every evening we get together after dinner to talk about our experiences that day and to review our pictures of the day. We have 6 photographers out of 10 so we have lots of pictures to view. Here are some from today:
