Day 11

We worked all week, five days, on the construction project. It was in the heat under the scorching sun, and it was hard, physical labor but it was so worth it. Each day we would go back to our hotel and relax for a little bit then go to bed by 10 because we were so tired. We had to shovel mud out of the trenches the day after it rained, and we shoveled dirt and sand and rocks almost every day. I think it was more shoveling than I have ever done, but I still loved it. We also helped lay blocks for the foundation and bricks for the wall and filled them with mortar. It was such a great experience to meet people from all over the world to help with the construction. I truly loved all of it, the work, the association, and even the funky tan lines :) Today is our last day in Vallegrande. We are taking the bus out tonight to begin our long journey to Rurrenabaque. We are sad to leave behind the new friends we´ve made, but there are lots of great things to come.
