La Carpio

Written by: Neal Niedecker

Today was a very rough day. Still I enjoyed myself. We started off by taking a trip to La Carpio. La Carpio is not the nicest place. It was a little strange to see, but still it was overall a great experience. See we leveled out the ground and moved some rocks around. Then we began paving the road. If you saw this town you would know how much a road could do for these people. Most of the houses seem to be built out of corrugated metal and miscellaneous trash. I got to use a pick ax for the first time in my life. It was a serious work out but I enjoyed it. At one point I accidently stepped into some one else’s home. The little kids all started singing “gringo en me casa” It was very funny. Overall I’d say this day was great.
