Machismo

Today was day 2 of piso building. I think I´m getting to be a pro at this. Yesterday we built 2 pisos: one kitchen and one outdoor space. Today we built 2 pisos for one family. The difference between today and yesterday was that yesterday´s team consisted of mostly women and Pastor Beny. It was highly efficient and we had a lot of fun. Today´s team was a few more men from the household that we were building the pisos. It was a more interesting dynamic because the men (who were all shorter than me) didn´t let me do any heavy lifting. It was hilarious trying to pick up a bucket of sand or rock and having someone steal it out of my hands the moment I even lifted it. Can´t wait to post some pictures.
