Teamwork

 Today, we didn't build houses.  Today, we became tourists.  

One of the things we did was to go to 'Devil's Gate' near the capital, a newly renovated tourist attraction.  There are two assumptions tied into its formation. One folklore belief is that the devil was cornered and escaped through the rocks, making the chasm opening in the mountain. The other idea is that an earthquake years ago was so strong that it caused the mountain to split.

Looking way up, we saw extremely unlevel steps, with various riser heights, and a very steep hill. 

Challenge on! Our team started this climb of over 250 steps. The view when you got to the top lookout was beautiful.  It looked out over a lush, green valley and San Salvador. The best part was the team set the pace nice and slow.  Being the oldest on the team, I really appreciated it. I made the comment there is no 'I' in the word 'team". We worked together to make sure all 10 of us made it to the top.

Thanks to everyone at home for all your prayers. They are greatly appreciated. Tomorrow we build our last four houses.
