The Packer game was great yesterday! The place we were at was called KTAOS. We all ate lunch there and stayed to watch the whole game. Afterwards we went to the church we're staying at, showered, ate dinner (chicken alfredo), then explored the city. I got a few souvenirs and walked around the city center where they still have beautiful Christmas lights displayed.
Today was our first build day. Early in the day I was moving adobe bricks to pallets, preparing for the next house to build. The house we're currently building is almost complete. We finished up a lot of the painting for it and some of the Habitat members also installed cabinets for the kitchen. Later on in the day I was sawing plywood for the cabinet countertops and moving cinder blocks. I also traveled along to Taos Middle School to pick up doghouses that were built and donated to Habitat. We delivered them to the high school where they would paint them and add the final touches. Now we just had dinner made by the woman whose house we're building. Her name is Adriana. She has two kids, Danica and Daniel, who also joined us. They made frito pie, which I've never had, but it was delicious. I'm not sure what's planned for the rest of the night, but we'll probably play a few different games as a group. So far it's been a successful build day and I'm excited to see how much we will accomplish this week!
