Visit to Pocone

Greetings from Pocone, Brazil!

In what will most likely be our last trip away from the work site, we are currently in the closest town to the lodge that we are staying at in the Pantanal – about a three hour drive.

There have been many advances in the project, and a few set backs since our last update. 

First, a positive:  All of our luggage is now accounted for.! After a week of waiting, we were finally able to get out the books and the materials that we needed to start our projects (all of which were convenietly located in Greg’s bag which was lost by Delta.)  Look for more details on the D-B-T page.

Negative: Following the crushing defeats (respectively) at the hands of Ghana and Netherlands, we no longer have any clear cut ties to any of the teams still in the World Cup.  Cory is backing Spain, while Greg is putting his money on the Germany. Regardless of who wins we’re hoping for three more good games and lots of goals.  More on everything that isn’t the build (including monkeys!) on our community page.

Be sure to check out the project’s blog, as well as the architect’s (links convienently located to the left!)
