Day 3

Wednesday was similar to Tuesday, breakfast at 6am (dis-colored hot dogs we did not eat). We just drank some coffee and fresh mango juice then drove 30km to the job site. We had another productive day. Weather was sunny with a little cloud cover and a nice breeze in the morning, then afternoon became very warm as the typical cloud cover did not roll in. With a steel roof the length of a football field to lay, the heat reflecting off the metal sheeting became unbearable for half the crew and they had to come down off the roof as heat stroke was setting in. We were successful in completing one side of the last building and will wrap up the rest on Thursday. We will complete our project 1 1/2 days ahead of schedule. This will provide us a little extra R&R at the end of our trip. After the exhausting start and aggressive work pace, we are very thankful for this.

We did have an unexpected visitor to our job site today, Grant Carmichael was moving a piece of steel when a very large Green Mamba slither out. We all thought he was having an melt down when we saw him throw his hammer and running in circles, it could have been a disaster.

We got back to our guest house with still a little sun light and a few hours before dinner. These times are the best for fellowship as a bunch of the guys gathered in our room for a few laughs and stories about their lives. The time that we all spend together this I believe to be the most blessed, because guys are tired, uncomfortable and vulnerable we tend to be very honest and open, it's great. Dinner was a suprise, we drove to a nice hotel (nice for Morogoro) and was able to order off of a menu. The food was Indian, and was a nice change from beans and rice, the only problem is they never brought my order (Scott). No problem the granola bar back at the guest house was just as good.
