Puerto Rico

Today, we drove to the construction site first thing after breakfast. We met Willy, who guided us in Spanish in starting construction on a cement-reinforced room for his house. We shaped and placed rods, hammered planks into place, shoveled rocks, and got completely yolked and drenched in sweat. We enjoyed a lunch that Maria prepared for us in her home, then returned to the construction site to secure and shape more rods and do more landscaping. We headed back to Luquillo around 3, went to the beach to swim and play soccer, and met a polite crab we named Horatio. After dinner, we went out to get popsicles and played games on the roof. Overall, it was a solid day, sweaty, and we are ready for tomorrow.
