Well, it is a quiet Friday - the team that was here headed for the Capital this morning. So its just me, the dogs, Allison Krauss and Thanksgiving leftovers. :)
There is always something interesting on the 2km drive to the site!

Quiet Time
Had a fun Thanksgiving with the girls from Ohio Northern, Dan, Kari, Nicole and Monchy. Dan cooked a great meals followed by two of Kari's desserts - pumpkin cheesecake and an Apple/Pumpkin Crumb thing with cream cheese in it. Very good eating! Even watched Miracle on 34th St after! (no football though).
Tarantula
Quite an event later last night when a HUGE tarantula showed up outside the door into the dining area. After much screaming from the girls I trapped it .. now what? A little different than squishing a small spider - any suggestions? (wish I had one of my pistols!)
Fried Fish
Enjoyed giving a Monchy a ride up to the reservoir yesterday afternoon so he could introduce me to the Fried Fish - very tasty - no stomach issues later! We are learning each others language, so it was fun.
no Internet
Gave up on the internet idea for now - thinking of asking Miguel (who I am renting from) if he could do the paperwork - getting too complicated using one of the translators and asking them to put it in their name ... Dan & Kari are nice saying that they like that I have to be here at the Guest House to communicate with the outside world - feeling is mutual!
Flat Tire
Well, we have a flat on the backhoe, but it should be getting repaired as I write. Ended up helping obtain the correct size socket from a tractor repair place with my friend Zachius (day guard/overseer at the project). Fun spanish conversation in transit. We took off the tire and chunked it into the back of a pickup so it could go to the Bomba (pump) and repair shop.
Living Here
So interesting, a fun challenge - everyone is very patient with my Spanish, in stores buying minutes, getting keys copied, buying Christmas lights, at the jobsite, gas station, wherever.
