Day 10: Higher and Higher

Tuesday began at the normal 9:00 time, reporting to our job sites with bellies full of a wonderful scrambled egg breakfast.  The morning was just like Monday afternoon, mixing concrete and stacking bricks higher and higher. We got almost to roof level on our 1st latrine we were building before lunch time, so having one close to completion was a really good feeling.
After lunch, we went to yet another site to start a 3rd site.  During lunch time, we were the only ones that actually eat lunch, all the locals just chew dried coca leaves that abate the feeling of hunger.  Anyway, back to the afternoon activities, we worked on the 3rd site til we got to the slab height before calling it a day.  We lost Warner for the day because he was beginning to assemble the roof piping that would heat and store the shower water.  The design was amazing and surprisingly easy.  They got the 1st roof made that afternoon and it looked really good.  Everything was starting to come together.
