Well, we're back in good old Sacramento. We decided to leave at 3 am this morning to avoid LA traffic, and it worked! But we're all exhausted. Car sleep is never good sleep.
This past week we were relatively productive. We worked on more sprinkler systems, gluing pipes together and burying them. Then on Thursday, Kyla and I built column structures on a porch. Now, it sounds simple, but it took us about three hours to build one. We have to attach 3 steel beams around a cement block and then screw in boards around it. Not as easy as it sounds!
And for the staff Christmas party Wednesday...never happened. We received a call from the CVHC and they said there was a miscommunication and they didn't have enough food for us! Very sad indeed. But, in return, they treated us to lunch at a restaurant called Cero's and it was fabulous. Possibly the best minestrone soup I've ever had. Everything in it was supersized and chunky, even the noodles! YUM.
It's time to go home, and I'm SO excited!!! It's going to be very difficult to come back. I have to look positively about the experience and get pumped for more AmeriCorps adventures. It's been a crazy and amazing year. I did not think I would have experienced anything I have done in 2009. I can't wait for what is to come.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
See you in 2010!
