Day 5

Day 5
We have been meeting at Abuela's house for breakfast every morning and today was her birthday. The boys all wished her a happy birthday and thanked her for providing food for us all these days. We tried to get an earlier start today in order to be able to finish both houses and still leave at a reasonable time for the 4-hour ride back to Maipu. We put (most) of the finishing touches on the first house and, after another amazing lunch of fried fish, got the walls and roof put on the second. Altogether we were able to complete about 1.8 houses.
It was difficult to leave Iloca; it is an extremely beautiful place with some amazing people. However, we are excited to get back to Maipu to do some soccer clinics and take hot showers. We arrived in Maipu about 11:30pm and went with our host families to get some much needed rest...
