Week 1 : Busy!

Wow, that week went by very quickly. Seems like there's hardly time to think in these days, yet alone write a blog! An average day starts by getting up at 7, meeting with Lissy, the other team leader at 7.30, before breakfast with the team at 8. At half 8 the bus collects us for work, and brings us for lunch at 1.30 in the nearby childhood home of a former president of Chile! The meals are so big that a siesta is a must, before the bus returns us to work at 1.30. After a long day on the site, we're usually back home by 6.30 for a quick wash before dinner. After dinner we're so wrecked, there's only time for a quick team meeting before collapsing into bed! Muito rapido!

During the week we got three houses started on. You can see where they are in relation to where we're staying here. Here's a few photos to let you know how we´ve been progressing...

After a long week at work, we're heading for a well-earned rest in the Maipo Valley, 2 hours drive from Los Andes.

Hasta Luego Amigos.
