Today we stated off with a breakfast of eggs and potatoes, and then we got ready to head to La Democracia for our second day of our service project at the school. While there, we built the braces to support the walls of the dining room, then put up screening and roofing. We also helped make a walkway from the kitchen to the dining room and also helped make cement for the kitchen. The computer room we started painting yesterday got finished today. After the day was over a few of the teachers from La Democracia came to Monkey Bay to eat dinner with us. Tonight Rufina made rice, curry chicken, fried plantains, salad, and mashed potatoes. Best Dinner Ever!! Then we enjoyed a drumming circle from a local band. We danced really crazy around the fire pit. After dancing we settled down to get a good night sleep for our long trip to Tobacco Caye tomorrow.

Bullis Belize - Clarke and William - I've just watched your 9 min. video, which included lots of your construction work on Sunday for the dining hall at La Democracia primary school. I liked all the sounds of hammering nails and sawing. Watching the team lift the frames for the walls into place was a really good sequence. I'm glad that some of the teachers came to Monkey Bay for dinner and that you'll have a chance to sleep after your productive work, good food, drums and dancing at the fire pit. We are all surprised and sad about the Metro train crash on Monday here. Two red line trains crashed, as of last night six fatalities confirmed. Please travel safely and hurry home.
