Galo the Contractor

Wednesday October 29

Today Galo came with one worker. My worker came by himself. Then Galo and me went to see a project that he is working on not to far from the mall. Then he dropped me off at the mall so I could work on buidlig my website. At the mall there is faster internet connection.

I was about to leave (in the afternoon) when Galo stopped by. He said that he was back at my house.

Then we stopped to see his project again, as he wanted to see the girders that were put up. I also met his brother, Bruno, who works in construction. He seems like a real nice guy and he speaks English, too. The architect, Mario, was there, too.

Then it was off to my home again.

The raised patio is nearly finished and it looks good.

Galo took Jayne and I for a ride to see his house, some homes he build, and to a national park. We didn’t go in his house, but just drove up to it. The national park is really nice. This is next to the water source for the city of Quito.

There, we took some pictures and saw the lagoons in the bottom of the valley. I’ll send them later.


Friday October 31

The workers were doing repairs on the roof, while another worker continued painting the house.

I went to Quito to go to another bank where I have an account. First, I got something to eat. I then went to see if a package came for Jayne and i. when I got there they were closed but a woman shouted out the window that they will be opened at 3pm.

So I had to kill time. So I got something to drink.

It started to rain so I had to wait longer as I wanted to walk back to see if a package arrived. When I got there, there was no package for Jayne.

Then I walked back to where the out-door bar is to get a taxi. It had started to rain again so I had to spend more time there. By the time I was ready to leave I thought that it would be too late to go to the bank so I got a taxi home instead.

I paid the workers after I got home. I was told that they would be back tomorrow to finish the job.
