This is Drew Alleman blogging from the lobby of the Hotel El Bambu. We headed to work this morning facing the fact that we are now at the halfway point of the workweek. The whole trip seems to be going by so fast as Tova Sido predicted at the beginning of the week (she wanted a plug in the blog so there you go). Nonetheless we had a great day of work with an hour-long rain/ snack break with dance lessons though by the one and the only Bill Gepford. I am proud to say I did not participate. Finishing the work was probably the best part of the day because awaiting us in a tin roofed building a hundred yards away was one of the best lunches I have ever had prepared by the local women of the church. During lunch instead of napping on the ground like we normally do we had a 50 kilo. bag of rice (a major staple here in Costa Rica) that we had to divide up into ZiplockÒ bags to be handed out on the medical trips that were being done by parts of our team headed up by David Bullinger (he wanted a plug, too). This was a very cool experience knowing that this food would feed someone in need. VBS after lunch was one more push of the day but it was a fun one with all of the kids from the local area. Getting back to the hotel after the day was a major relief. In closing today was another great day in Costa Rica.
This is Drew Alleman signing off.
