Unskilled Labor

We're still working on the cement slab for the carport. Cesar, or as Russ likes to call him, Cesar Augustus, is the head worker and doesn't like to give us breaks. We joke that we are his slaves. Yesterday we mixed and poured about 100 square feet of cement. MacGyver and MacGruber got called away from their skilled labor jobs because they were the only ones able to get the baskets of gravel and sand into the cement mixer.

Lorraine spent her day with the kids and was impressed by the level of care they are receiving at the Latacunga house. Barbara joined her for awhile and then came out to shovel sand.

Today we will return to finish the slab. Then we've decided to head back to Quito so we can maximize our time with the children. We'll upload pictures of Latacunga when we get better Internet access. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers.
