so please exuce the spelling and grammer errors, it only spell checks in spanish! honestly though if you follow this blog you should be used to the horrific grammer and spelling!
my very tired, quick thoughts of day three...
busy day today. i have NEVER worked so hard in my life and the salvadorian men worked harder than me, it was truly amazing. our family today is a single mom, Eddi who is 21 and has 2 children, 1 yr old boy Alex and 6 year old girl Carmen. She has NEVER lived in a home, ever, she has been in San Antonia _ the village we are in_ her whole life and has never lived in an actual home.
it was hard to get used to the chickens, goats, pigs and the occasional turkey wondering through your work site or to the ox carrying corn from the field going down the main street, instead of yelling CAR and then GAME ON while playing street hockey, we are yelling OX, BUILDING ON.
i have a nasty cold and have lost my voice which makes communicating in a different language even more challenging. other than my cold, nothing on sick meter for scott or me except heat headaches for me.
off to bed early again. no 2am nights here. it is funny though the days go slow here, but not in a bad way, at home I am hard pressed what to tell you what i did all day and i will always say where did the day go, here i know exactly what I have done and the day seemed like the perfect amount of time.
it is a different life here, some of it challenging but they have many positives to their culture that I will be trying to implement in my own. operation simplify has a totally new meaning here.
take care, buenos noches amigos
