The sun, the hot hot sun

Another work day here. Yesterday was a bit grueling for me. I guess I need to adjust to two things- the warm weather (already Ligia keeps telling me to drink lots of water), and being on my feet working all day. I did a lot of cleaning, dusting (it blows around a lot right now, its extra dry. They mow and all you see is a little man on the mower with a bandanna over his mouth engulfed in a cloud of dust). I also tried my hand at raking and while that wasnt hard, they put the leaves in a large garbage holder with a small ramp leading up to it. Guess who fell, screaming, with a wheelbarrow. Needless to say they came up with a new routine that does not include a small ramp. I was nervous about it but figured I might as well try it! No harm done.  Today was a bit better. Did a lot of cleaning getting the cabins ready for guests, lots of laundry, made tags for welcome baskets etc (not including lunch and dinner clean up). Tomorrow will be an even tougher day as its called 'work day'. Apparently up until now we have been doing 'conference prep'. I can't even imagine what 'work' will look like if what I have been doing isn't it! I almost cuddled with a lizard. They really are more skittish than the ones in Samoa. It was gone before my mind computed what it really was. I guess tomorrow there is somesort of 'jump' festival that includes men dressed up walking on stilts (a native practice). I don't know if anyone is going but I sure hope so cause that sounds like a once in a life experience (actually I think they have them four times a year here so I guess there may be another day).  Im off as I am tired from my day and may need to veg out a bit. Till the next time!
