Check out the pictures on Facebook, do you think that anyone was tired today?
We are just sitting down to supper now and then that will be followed up with orientation.

and Christine were brave enough to try the […]

After browsing through the biggest candy store we have ever seen, we ended off with an evening filled […]

minutes and had a late start to the building day. Despite the slight
delay we made up for lost time and succeeded in completing half of the
frame, and started digging the bano (bathroom). We came back after 5
hours to shower (we were really really dirty).
We […]
