This is the last day that we had the chance to work on the houses.
The walking group finished the trench to four feet deep. That was their only task for the day. It was a relitively easy day for them.
The group that started from the near beginning just kept on putting up blocks and got up to the fifth row all over the house.
The last group finished at about the ninth row around the exterior of the house. For the interior we got up to the seventh row.
Our day ended at 2.00 because we were going to the walking site for a closing cermony. The families all spoke about how much they liked us coming to help them build their house. All of the families were given a picture of us and them so they came remember us. Then we all broke up into our groups and the families presented us with some food. My group got a ham and cheese sandwich, pepsi, and a bananna. This entire week for luch we had PB and J, so ham and cheese was greatly appreciated.
That night the hotel gave us a special dinner and we all talked about the week and reflected on it. Then when dinner ended the family that is going to live on the walking site came to say a final goodbye. During the good bye ceremony at the work site the father wasn´t able to be their so he and his family got dressed up nice and came down to the hotel.
