Finally, today we have sunny weather this afternoon.
In the morning, I worked with the Hondurans.  We were a little concerned yesterday that they did not want us around, but after this morning, I conclude that was a miscommunication.  I spent all morning with Juan y Juan, two brother who are the foreman.  I met the other workers, Melvin, Herman, Tony the Italiano ( I tease him) and Nektar.  I explained that Nektar sounds like nectar as in fruit.  The other guys teased him to no end, and I fear I have done the Honduran equivalent of Johnny Cash{s a boy named Sue.
We assembled the forms for the support beams, and this afternoon we{ll be mixing cement.  Oh boy!
We went out to lunch today.  A local restaurant was secured for our group.  It was a great meal.  Afterwards, Emily and I ran into Junis mother.  We learned that Juni is on a vacation in San Pedro Sula with her sister and her Aunt.  She"ll start 5th grade in two weeks.
More to come.
