1/2 day of work and fun in Antigua

With only a minor incident involving scaffolding and steel roof sheets everyone survived yet another day of hard work.  We went back to the Lily and continued to bust up concrete, shovel concrete, shovel unidentified material, and apply more steel sheets for a roof.  It is coming along and everyone is working crazy hard.  You may see pictures of people resting and think man, did that person work?  Well, after swinging a sledgehammer 10 times or so a person has to rest.  : )  We finished up work and headed to pick up 6 girls from school.  That was interesting...the 3 girls went up the streets to get the the little ladies from school, they were excited to get us. All these parents (25?) were shoving up against us to get their kids.  We went back to the Oasis and got showered and listened to a presentation about Kids Alive and how we can participate in helping sponsor girls.  After that, we went to the old capital of Guatemala called Antigua. We bartered in the markets for our goods and fun was had by all.  We ate dinner at a place called Cafe Sky. Pasta, quesadillas, tirimisu, other crazy looking stuff was ordered and every one left full.  It was very enjoyable and relaxing!  The atmosphere and ambiance was spectacular. It was very open aired and there was a spiral black staircase that led to the roof where you can see the city lights, stars, and mountains.  Beautiful!  We do have one feeling sick so please be praying for health.  Tomorrow we will head to an extreme remote location called Zapote (sp?) and build a wall while some other folk hand out pencils and sharpeners to 145 boys and girls.  Zapote is around 2300, elevation so it will be hot. The Oasis is  around 7500 elevation.  It is around an hour or hour and a half away.
