THE LIZARD - Woke at 5:00 am and could not get back to sleep so I cleaned up and got ready for the day. We washed out some clothes. As Cathy was walking out of the bathroom, she looked up on the ceiling to find a lizard. She immediately went to the hotel desk to get them to remove it from the room. I was in stitches laughing at her reaction when the hotel guy came in. He was more queezy that she was - his face gave away his fear. He got a long handled sweeper and knocked it off the wall and removed it from the room. He would not touch it with his bare hands. The tears were streaming down my cheeks listening to the two of them talk about getting it out. Finally Cathy gave the guy some tissues and he carted it off with the weirdest look on his face.
0930 - we had breakfast at the farm and spent the full day working on the mural.
1230 - we broke for lunch.
BANNERS - There were two polio baners that everyone on the team signed. Don Fink auctioned off the two banners - Rick Mutchier and Darlene Howard paid $6,000 each for the banners. The funds will go toward next year's project in the village.
We all gathered for a full team photo - thanks to Roger and Susan.
CAMEL - We returned to the village and worked on the mural for the afternoon. While we were inside, one of the village men brough a camel into the school yard, dressed it for ride and took several Rotarians and Team Members for rides. Shirley McCaughey got on but slid down.
5:30 pm - we arrived back at the farm for supper. We were told the wheelchair and commode had arrived. Several went to get them ... Logan Roberts got the first ride as he was wheeled from the house to the tent in it.
We had a sing song, then supper. Most of us were pretty tired and it was quite cold. I was shivering and just could not get warm.
10:00 pm - Because there was a traffic jam on the hill again, Sanjiv escorted our buses down a backroad to the hotel. I went right to bed.
