El Fin de Semana

     Our first weekend in Guatemala was anything but work-free. Saturday morning started off with a delicious breakfast consisting of black beans and oatmeal. At first we thought that we had the morning off to work on our final projects, but we soon found out that there was work for us at the "granja." Our work was anything but easy. We were cutting and bending iron in order to make cement re-inforcers for buildings down here. We soon realized that what we were making were the same things that we see sticking out of the top of every building. When Guatemalans build houses or buildings, they always leave room to build another floor which is why we see metal bars sticking out on top of almost every building.
