I have a bit of insomnia – it’s 3:00 am Phnom Penh time. Thought I would give a mini update.

Day 1 – November 15. There are about 10 HFH volunteers, 4 Cambodian craftsmen and 1 translator working on the house.

The day started great but ended up in medic tent in the afternoon. The Canadian (moi) could not take the heat. It’s been 35C at least with super high humidity. I was vomitous, went home and crashed initially but then up until 3. Doc told me it was probably due ro my body being so revved up in trying to cool itself. I joked saying that I found a way to get a new t-shirt as other one was disgusting! TMI, I know, but it is part of my experience.

Day 2 – I was a trooper and went out. Felt on the mend. Spent part of morning in medic tent – nothing happened, just did it as a preventative measure. I got to sit under the fans in the company of the handsome Cambodian Doc, Ritti. Afternoon was awesome!

I have laid and hauled 20 pound bricks, more than you can imagine.

House is going up! Day 3 we’ll build and install roof trusses.

So much to say – love you all and know I am having a great life experience.

Will post pics later.
