Day 5: Wednesday January 25th

Today I worked at FMB (aka Bollywood) which is the warehouse where all the wood and supplies are stored that are used to build the modular houses. For the first half of the day we unloaded bricks off the roof and loaded them into wheelbarrows which we then wheeled over to Schoolhouse (another PSF house/storage area). Then we stacked them neatly against the wall. After the bricks came the cinder blocks, which we also stacked. After that was done we went back to PSF HQ and had lunch.

After lunch we took a minibus over to Aceros Aeroquipas (I probably spelled that wrong) which is a steel mill that donates its pallets and wood to us. Once there, we loaded a bunch of pallets and wooden planks into the truck. After we were done loading everything up, we got into the back of the truck and were driven all the way back to Bollywood. We formed a 'chain' to unload everything from the truck. We finished around 4:00pm. From 4 until 5 we started de-nailing planks. At 5, we packed up, locked up Sphinx the kitten, and headed back to PSF HQ.

We had a delicious, as always, dinner then later that night went out to Mystica, one of the discos (nightclub). They played a lot of american music, but the dancing is so different than in the States, they actually do real dancing which of course I have no idea how to do. So, some of the Peruvian girls taught me how to salsa, kind of... I was terrible but at least I tried... Sorry, no pictures of that... too embarrassing. :) So, that was my wednesday.
