Here I go!

I'm going to be going to the Galapagos tomorrow! I'm super excited, here are some photos from when I was working on the school. There are two of me, and then the photo of my friends from class. I'll get more photos up and then there won't be much to explain. We started with very little and in 2 weeks we built a building that will serve as a school. I had so much fun! I just worked all day every day. I suffered a couple of injuries, I stepped on a nailm,and cut myself. But I kept on working. It was an adventure. On the second day I saw a Basilisk lizard, they really do run on water!
When I was on the coast, I worked away my problems and what was left was my wholesome naked self, unscarred and happy. I worked and had so much fun doing it. This was such a rewarding experience. I got to know my classmates so much better. I just felt happy the whole time I was on the coast. I remember thinking half asleep on the two hour ride back to Esmereldas that I was just happy. I hadn't felt this happy in such a long time. I was working about 9 hours a day, and I did that for 11 days. It felt good, I was really using that time to the fullest. I was helping people that really needed it. I was able to let myself go, after working I would wrestle with the little kids. Me running around fending of five kids who were determined to tackle "mi gringito." I recieved this name by the community, "my gringo," I even promised to one of the women there that I would be back in 2 or 3 years. But when I come back there will be at least 50 kids studying in our school.
I also got to do the finishing touches. I got to put the last piece of roofing on because we didn't have a ladder and the worker didn't want to jump down.
All in all, it was one of the best things I did in my time here.
I don't know how to get the pictures off their sides.. sorry.
