Last Full Day of Work

The last full day of work at the San Rafael School for the Costa Rica Crew started out with numerous small jobs getting us closer to the completition of our work. Some members put some finishing touches on the classrooms built last year with primer and paint. Others cleaned up the concrete mess created by the new wheel chair ramp and drainage system outside of the new classrooms. Meanwhile chisel-abbed studs like Vince and Ryan  chiseled away concrete and dirt to make way for the drainage pipe from the bathroom.   After a delightful snack of fresh pineapple, papaya, sandwhiches, and quesadillas, the crew enjoyed a lovely game of soccer on the rocky pitch before heading back to work.  In the hour before lunch, the crew touched up the bathroom with primer and paint. After a delicious lunch of rice, beans, egg, and tomatoe, the crew returned to the pitch for some more footie. Soon after, a truck arrived with the long-awaited "tiny toilet" for the bathroom. The Crew then continued to work on the bathroom with primer and paint. Later, Javier, Vince, and I boarded "Guillermo" or "Gill" (our big white van) and headed to the hardware store in San Marcos. There we picked up various supplies for the bathroom in addition to tastfully picking out the tile for the bathroom floor and wall. When we arrived back at the school, we wrapped up a few projects and headed home for the day.
