november 13

Almost pay day again! This mornign we got up at 6am and read for an hour before starting the day. We had a great egg breakfast with a little leftover rice and beans, and our favorite staple: Grant’s fresh baked bread. In the morning we worked together to plant the 6 vines that were scattered throughout the greenhouses, then we did 1.5 tours each (we split the one in the middle). My group was a couple from England, and Grant’s was a strange lady who spoke no English or Spanish from Switzerland. We shared a german couple. At 11am Grant went back to Glenn’s to work on the router and I took some vines down then went to lunch at 11:30 by myself, and then up to the reception at 12:30 to relieve Erika. Grant worked with Glenn a bit more after lunch, but they still haven’t figured out the router so no internet for us still. Apparently Glenn is frustrated with the problem (I don’t blame him) and he keeps cursing. He’s not mad at Grant, but Grant says he has to keep convincing him to do steps even though Grant is confidant in what he’s saying. And, Glenn wont let Grant touch his computer, so Grant has to keep dictating the next keystroke and mouse click. It’s obvious (particularly based on the two nail files kept on Glenn’s desk) that Glenn is meticulous about his things. Grant went back to the gardens for a few minutes, and then the day was over before we knew it. At home I fixed a hole in our drawstring work back, Grant did laundry, and we had dinner. He’s going to play soccer with the guy at 7pm also, and I’m going to read.
