Slow Day

Today was fairly quiet. I spent the first part of the morning on administrative work, checking e-mail and trying to set up meetings, and then I joined Dale and the others at the construction site. We completed one of the block walls and put up the fenceposts for its fence, and we poured concrete into the other block wall. These walls are not as even as the ones we built for the laundry, but I don’t think they started on a level concrete base.

The morning was overcast until I got to the work site, at which time the sun turned vicious. It stayed hot until about 2PM, when it clouded over and began to rain. It took until 3 PM to quit and pack up to come home. We welcomed being rained on. It felt good to be wet and cooled off.
We tutored some high school kids on homework. In the process I learned that UPS means uninterruptible power supply and that URL is universal resource locator.
Tomorrow some of us go to the village of Yalbac, and some of us to Orange Walk to check on the New Life Presbyterian School. We have a meeting with Rotary folks in San Ignacio set for Thursday.
