Today we layed more and more brick. The site is starting to take on the shape of an actual building!!! Pretty crazy Faker also volunteered (correction I volunteered Jeremy) to learn how to lay brick. Our contractor Fran wanted another man to lay brick and Faker seemed like the best bet, hes tall, he can speak spanish, and hes great with servitude. It started raining in the middle of the day which sent us into a frenzy to bring the bags of cement inside. The 94 pound bags of cement.
We also discovered that day that the man who owns Fanta recently died and now Fanta naranja almost does not exist! At least not in the pulperias in Camilo, so we were forced to buy coca cola and retry Roja...bad choice on the Roja.

Again, more brick laying but we have 6 rows of block laid all around and tomorrow we can begin grouting. And yes I know we are working on the weekend, but Master Chris said that it was necessary. We rented a mixer for the grout because of the large quantities and we have to pay for it for the weekend so we might as well use it. Thats okay because this next weekend we will have a long weekend.
Jeremy continued to lay brick today and he seems to be doing a good job. If this whole engineering degree doesnt seem to work out, he could make a good mason. Then he could become part of the freemasons and protect the US constitution from Nicholas Cage. (sorry long day)
We may hang out with Devin's grandparents this weekend who live in Nicaragua close to Masaya. We met them at the airport and they were super nice.
Alright I sign off tonight as two geckos are doing it on the wall above my computer. Check out the sweet pictures were posting...
