Watch Your Head

Today was way harder than yesterday.  We woke up at 6:15 again to go work.  We didn't know what we were doing until we got there. Turns out we were going to the same place we worked yesterday. And we were pretty much the same split up groups minus Herc and with a few additions.  

We were moving the cacti on one side of the street about 4 feet back to widen the roads.  It was way harder than yesterday because we were in the sun nonstop as well as digging rocks out of very hard ground with pic axes, one shovel and a hoe. We were very unorganized. We really didn't really know exactly what we were doing because only Blake from the 410 Bridge was there to lead us and he really didn't know what he was supposed to be doing there as the whole place was chaos. Now I believe chaos has it's place but this was not it. Well there was an accident here. I won't say any names or exactly what happened because I was asked not to.   Everyone is fine now. But there should have been more leaders there, and there shouldn't have been that many people in a five foot wide alley.  Anyway we saw baseball sized tarantulas in the rocks. After the accident we were leaderless as both Ronald and Blake left with the hurt kid in the truck to a clinic. Eventually the other group came back and we waited there for the bus to arrive as it apparently had smoking dashboard issues. I'll just leave it at that.

After that fiasco we went back to the house. I played keepaway soccer with some Haitian kids and got a little overheated but I was all good after a while. We went to a community center here and played soccer. I watched the Americans get killed by the Haitians. I got some good footage,  as well as a color commentator for the soccer game. He was a goat but it was all good.  After that we came back and we had our final debrief.

Tomorrow we leave for PAP. We get to go back on the awesome road out of the town and get to see those awesome views.
