Down to business

So there was more fun at the hotel last night, and once again I missed it. At around 2 a.m. a water tank broke in the janitor's closet that was between a couple of the rooms, and people awoke to the sound of running water. Christina (I think) stepped out of her bed to see what it was and landed in a puddle. So two or three rooms got flooded, and some folks had to switch rooms in the middle of the night. Richard, hearing all the commotion in the hall, assumed it was morning already so he got up and had a shower and popped out the door all ready to go. At 2 a.m. Once again David and I missed all the action and slept peacefully.
This morning was our first day of work. Some of us spent the day making forms for cement posts, as they are adding a third story to the main building. The other project was clearing dirt and stones from around a septic tank that they are digging, and spreading it out over the ground where the roadway is.
I'm posting this from the ACMI office, but right now the internet connection is extremely slow so I will post pictures later. We're done work for the day, and soon we'll go to meet our host families for this week.
