So basically the past few days all summed up

On friday we flew into guyaquil to meet up with everyone else in our volunteer project. Then took a 4 hour bus rideto get to puerto machalilla where we are volunteering. The town is really small but its right on the ocean! Every morning the obnoxious roosters wake us up at like 5 in the morning.

The first day we went fishing and alex caught a huge puffer fish. The lines were jsut a stick with a fishing line and bait and hook. I didn{t catch anything but we got like 12 fish overall because we also fished yesterday. so for the rest of the day we had lunch then had so really long meetings.

On Sunday we we went snorkelling out by the islands our farther but couldn{t see much. Ceasar took us out and had 5 dollar fish that we caught yesterday for us to eat. It was very tasty. We fished some more then rode the kayaks back, and greg fell off on the way back. After snorkeling we went to some sulfur springs that were not hot as advertised but still smelled wonderful. we covered each other in mud cause i guess its good for your skin. the locals thought we were funny. then we walked to a veiw point and saw tons of pigs and goats on the way. We went back for dinner, played some cards and went to bed.

So today we did tons of digging. the ground was super hard so we had to pick axe it before we shoveled. It cloudy but people still got sunburn. We broke for lunch at 12:30 and came back to dig an even bigger hole. I guess it{ll be a play ground eventually. tomorrow we are planting flowers in it. Tonight were having a bonfire on the beach i believe.

greg is incredibly good loooking in his bandana and sunglasses. He applys his sunscreen every hour and reminds me to do so on occasion. He love his mom even though he has yet to call her. he will soon. Ill write again soon hopefully with pictures!! :)
