It's our last work day in San Juan Arriba and our last full day in country. We had breakfast in the hotel restaurant where we said adios to a group of the Tennessee folks who are going home today.

We made that bone jarring trip to San Juan Arriba for the final time. When we bounced in we learned that some of the Choluteca Rotarians would be joining in to help us today. They did a great job, and it was fun to work out the language differences.

Our assignment is to finish houses 17 and 18, and then do the punch list items on houses 21 through 25. We had a couple of meter bases and breaker boxes to install, and several outlet boxes had to be inspected and cover plates installed.

We finished that work about lunch time, so what better thing to do that just "happen" to drop by the house where Jerry assisted in his first EcoStove construction in Arriba. Our luck was bad, though. There was nothing ready for us to sample. But, the owner is very happy with her stove. She told us that she had prepared the appetizers for yesterday's celebration on her new and much larger cooktop. She was able to prepare everything in record time. That's another EcoStove benefit we hadn't thought about - more parties!

During lunch we hung out with the Choluteca folks and got to know them a little better.

After lunch we went to two more houses to install meter bases and breaker boxes, and then we were done! We said our final goodbyes to our wonderful hosts and hostesses. Then, we went down the hill a short distance to San Juan Cito, the villiage where we worked last year. We gave the village leader, "el hefe", an overview of the EcoStoves, and he was very interested. We committed to installing ten stoves over the next several weeks.

We headed back to Choluteca, dropped our stuff off at the hotel, and paid one last visit to our favorite steak place, El Torrito. We were happy we did.

After dinner we made our plan for Sunday travel. We will meet for one last cup of Boyd's delicious homemade coffee and depart for Tegucigalpa at 7:00 AM local time (that's 8:00 Madison time). That should give us plenty of time to get our much-worse-for-the-wear rental truck turned in and to check in for our 12:55 flight to Houston.

This will be our last entry for the trip. Buenos noches from the Madison Parrots. We'll see you mañana.
