Friday!
 
Everyone was up at the crack of dawn again this morning although some of us had a harder time waking up than others.  After yet another delicious breakfast, the group headed to the work site to finish up all last minute tasks.  The majority of the group worked on planting various plants along each edge of the ravine to prevent erosion during the heavy rainy season.  I think we were all surpised at Jim´s green thumb.  We were all happy to see the almost-complete bridge site look so good.  While this was going on, some of us dug up the last manhole by the Pan-American Highway to measure the depth of it and to see how the flow was moving.  Gosh, that was an extreme smell and we were a bit surprised to find a ball down there!
 
The temperature has increased from earlier this week and we were happy to come back to Los Ranchos for lunch.  After lunch, some of the group headed back to the work site to meet members of the San Salvador Rotary Club and show them what we have done with the funding they have provided us.  We are headed to a place this afternoon where there is a great overlook of San Salvador and we will get dinner there.  After this, it´s time to clean up and hit the dance floor one more time at the discoteca in San Salvador.
