Weekend Update

Movie night was interesting but odd.  Douglass, Jim, and I went to "Price Smart" (Sam's club) to get snacks, and then went to Charles' house to watch an hour-long artsy film.  It had 3 settings, 2 actors, and was completely in Miskito (a Peruvian native tongue) with Spanish subtitles.  The two actors, an old man and an old woman, either sat in a hammock, or in separate chairs for the entire movie, and talked about their son, who was going off to fight in a war.  He died. This is all I was able to gather at the speed that the subtitles were flashing on the screen.  Actually, the actors didnt speak at all physically.  They simply sat there, while their voiceovers had a conversation.  I guess it would have been meaningful if I had understood more than 10% of what they were saying.

Anyway, we spent yesterday cutting metal again, and I think that's what's on the docket for today, tomorrow and the rest of the week as well.  Once we're done cutting we'll start building the frames that will eventually have concrete poured around them.  Instead of simply talking about cutting metal though, I think I'll start writing up some of the interesting cultural observations that I've made.  Later though, now it's time to work.
