Today we woke up and ate breakfast. Jake had the idea to make a sandwich with the meat (it sorta looked like pepperoni) and eggs. Then we went to the hospital. We were tasked with moving cinder blocks, cement mix and buckets of sand to the roof (4th floor) with a pulley system. The day started out a little slow but sped up as we were given more jobs to do, such as sifting sand, laying cement, throwing trash out of the window into a truck and tearing down wallpaper. Sifting sand was absurdly strenuous and monotonous and by far the most difficult job. Amos was the designated puller for the pulley system, and thus the most respectable. At about 10:16:42 am, we took a quick snack break, unbeknownst to Jay. We were immediately mocked by the local workers, who said "Trabajamos muy duro y necesitamos un descanso" (We work very hard, we need a break (In a sarcastic tone)). After that we worked until lunch about 12:01:10 pm (just barely). We had sandwiches and soda and "pink stuff" (that's a soda, don't worry). Entonces (next) we went back to work, switching jobs until 4. Then we went back to the hotel and went for a relaxing swim, Amos decided to play catch with a rock due to the overdose on sun, and got hit in the head.....yeah, that happened. We had dinner and then went to JUMBO!!! (a Dominican version of Wal-Mart). We bought stuff, like a beach ball. Senor Wilson discovered the iPad and is emotionally attached to it. We are currently writing a blog...the end.
