After diving, we headed out to Colima to work on the orphanage. Because we had to drive on an interstate, we were going to take El Vocho! (the VW bug). However, it was involved in an accident, so we ended up high tailing it to Colima which is about 130 Km away on El Moto (the scooter). There is nothing like driving on an interstate with a max speed of 50 mph going down hill (30 mph on the flat, 15 mph uphill) with cars flying by you. Kind of reminds me of riding on a bicycle normally. So we then arrived in Colima and met up with a group of Canadians who are funding the building of the orphanage through a program called Acorn. We were very excited and greatful to meet some amazing people and have the opportunity to help out some orphans! Building the orphanage consisted of some basic medievil techniques such as mixing concrete and mortar in the middle of the street with shovels and then using our crafty skills and constant direction by Luis and Ramon (the local construction amigos) to keep the walls aligned and straight as possible. Laying brick is an art if you don´t know and Luis and Ramon are the maestros of brick laying. We learned alot and were greatful to be able to help out these kids. Thank you to everyone involved!
