Tour of Santa Ana

Just a quick little note about Thursday...I have just a few minutes before we board the buses for our last day of work. A little wi-fi difficulty last night and trouble uploading pictures has put me behind a little bit.

We enjoyed a bit more than half a day at the worksite, doing the same jobs as the day before. We had some heavy rain in the afternoon that caused us to stop work a bit earlier than expected. We've been very lucky, though, for being in the rainy season, the rain has not stopped us from working. It alwasy seems to rain when we're inside.

In the afternoon, when it was sunny again, we took a walking tour of Santa Ana with Alex. He showed us the Cathedral, the Municipal building, the theatre, and the Centre for Arts. We snuck in the see the art and music lessons, and he surprised us with a little of his opera singing.

In the evening, we went to Lover's Steakhouse where we were treated with a delicious dinner and some singing with the band. It was a flashback to the '70s with Air Supply on the video screen and the band singing some Karen Carpenter. We did get a little "New York, New York", and we had a little kick-line action for entertainment.

Off to our last day at the site today. We'll say farewell to the village and masons, have a celebration and pack up for the weekend. We'll head to the beach tonight, and heading home on Sunday.

Not sure if I'll be able to blog at the beach, so if you're still awake after reading all of this, then congrats on making it through. We certainly look forward to sharing all of our stories with you when we get home.

Adios, amigos!
