Painting in Puerto Rico

Today we got to work on a painting project for a family’s home in Playa Guayanes. The project also included prepping the building to be painted on. One of the ways we prepped was by chiseling paint off of a wall in front of the family’s yard. This was a challenging task since the only way to consistently get the paint off of the concrete wall was by hitting it with the chisel. Wyatt was a professional at completing his section on the wall. Other things we did for the house was paint the porch area ceiling and the walls high up on the house. The family was very appreciative of our work, making the experience very rewarding. After we finished up for the day, we went to a beach briefly. There were several stray dogs roaming the beach making it nice for those of us who missed our dogs (which would be everyone except Tony because he doesn’t have a dog). Then we came back to the campground and had dinner which was delicious. For dinner we had the selection of salad, rice, veggies, beans, and meats. After dinner we finished up on writing notes to each other and put them in  everyone’s “Feel Good Bags.” Then we did some reflecting and bonding from our experiences. It is currently night time at our rainforest campground and it is such an increadible location with so much green and wildlife. Tomorrow we will continue the painting project from yesterday and go to a new location. Goodnight from the rainforest in Puerto Rico to everyone reading our blog. I hope you feel inspired to do something to help someone else after reading our blogs.
