First, let's get the luggage thing out of the way. No, we don't have any yet. The latest word is that we get it Wednesday. We dropped laundry at the desk this morning, so we're going to be OK.

We returned to San Juan Arriba today to help out with the wiring project. Craig, our crew chief, got us off to a good start. We are working on a series of about seven houses that are pretty far off the beaten path. Our hike in and out is a pretty good workout.

We've had challenges in having the right equipment for the job. We had to stop by the hardware store on the way to the site to pick up tools to make up for everything that is still sitting in Houston. As you can see below, we didn't let a little thing like a shortage of ladders hold us back.


We had a pretty productive day once we got rolling. The locals were pretty impressed with the blistering pace we set.


We pretty much finished off four houses before we ran out of supplies. Then we headed back into Choluteca to enjoy our favorite steak house, El Torito. The loin steak was just like Craig remembered it, and it looks like it impressed Boyd.

We finished off the evening with a toast and a piece of birthday cheesecake for Steve. Happy Birthday, Steve, from the Honduras team!

Tomorrow is stove day. We plan to head back to Jayacayenne, and our goal is to build three stoves.
