So today we are doing more painting than anything else. The architect is here and we have the plans for the ramp we are going to start on, but we still need some oversight and more logistical planning.. The footings need to be dug about 6 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet, so we may need a backhoe, which in the states would be simple enough to arrange, but here... it's a little different. Tracking one down is not as easy as calling up the rental place and getting one. So, we're filling our time with relationships and painting. We have had more and more help from the Cubans who are staying with us, so it's really nice to do these things together. There is a lot of skill in this place, so we make great teams.
I learned today that a skilled worker in Cuba makes about $19 per month. A doctor in Cuba makes about $60 per month. SO, I can say... that I count my blessings. Not only for the wealth I enjoy in the United States (remember, if you have a car and a h0me you are wealthy by he world's standard), but also for my freedom, which I think we take so much for granted. I am abundantly blessed in so many ways.
Love to you all at home .
