Our daily schedule is packed. We wake up at the church around 6:30 am to go to work. Due to all the pre- meetings and normal waiting around that happens with a large group, we usually have our daily work schedules by 8:30. We work until 4 with a donor-provided lunch (usually a home cooked meal!). Then we head to the gym to shower (membership also donated). We must move at the rate of the slowest member, so I get in a workout and then a quick shower before we are off to someone's house for a home-cooked dinner. After dinner each night, we usually have some kind of an adventure (biking, hiking, beach sitting, etc...). Apparently, this maximum utilization of the day is common for Alaskans. The sun is up so late that no one wants to go home. So they have bonfires, and go hiking all night long. Rarely was I in bed before 1 am. I am tired...
Through all of these activities, the best part was the people with me. Everyone came with the intention of primarily building houses for others, and we were all pleasantly surprised with the great activities. So, adventurous people with good intentions doing adventurous stuff... And occasional house building. Good times!
Here are the shadows of a group of us with a view.
