We left our guest house a little later this morning giving the dirt roads a chance to dry out. We have about 40 miles of dirt road to get to Nakayot. This is the start of their rainy season and the rains are a welcome sight for them. They have had two years of drought. The road into Nakayot from the main highway was pretty bad. Lots of mud in spots.
We had another productive day working on the kitchen and the storeroom for the school. It is fun working alongside several of the young men from the village. They are hard workers.
We got the first coat of finish paint on all the metal parts. Got rebar around the edges of the floor. Cut and installed several pieces of sheet steel above and below the kitchen serving windows.
About 3 PM we had a torrential rain storm. Much worse than the day before. We stuck it out until about 4:30 but had to leave for fear if we waited too much longer we might not get out on the muddy roads. The ride out was rough and we nearly got stuck several times. Hopefully it will dry out over night. The team is doing very well. Working very hard with great attitudes.
