Tap that

Whew what a good feeling to be tired after a long day's work! Sorry for not blogging last night. We had quite an eventful evening with another trip to Managua to pick up my favorite couple, Chris and Heidi Messer.
Yesterday was a long day of work with us starting to lay the foundation for the new house, none other than the home of Chubby Gallup himself. For those of you who don't know, the high school team dubbed one of the cute little 3 year olds the name "Chubby Gallup" and it stuck. So we arrived in San Jose to find that the bus couldn't make it very far due to the torrential rain this past weekend and the dirt from the water project. So after carrying the supplies in we got to work on the foundation. We were able to get most of the forms for the foundation in yesterday so that we could start laying blocks today.
Mo, Raf, and I hurried back from San Jose yesterday to leave for Managua by 4:30 with Jorge. We were so exhausted from the day, but we were able to get some good conversations in between dozing. Things were quite eventful with yesterday being Day of the Revolution, so the traffic with the buses in and out of Managua was unreal. Unlike anything I'd ever seen. Lines of buses and dumptrucks 20 long, with people hanging off the sides. Naturally I stuck out my head occassionally flashing the peace sign/aka Sandinista party and screaming "¡Viva Daniel!" who is the new President of Nica.
Today we were able to lay an unbelievable amount of blocks with teams of making concrete, mezcla, and everything in between. Sorry I'm cutting the blog short tonight, but I'm fighting to keep my eyes open. Haha. Love you all!
