Day Ten

November 9

As I look at the mountain of ruble that encircles my Stone, it is starting
to look like I am with in a crater, and I begin to wonder who will be
sculpted more?
Me or the stone.
So much in life we see and take for granted.
Today I took on an assistant for the afternoon.
My hands still throbbing, much appreciated the help.
The assistants come and help before or after working their regular day job
in one of the many textile mills.
And often a full day there, they come and swing a mallet, for 8-12 hours...
And for a simple 25 reals, about $12 canadian dollars a day.....
So think when we whine of how we have it.
My Assistant Jar, has a curious and jokester side, but he is willing and
does work.
Slowly, I start to understand more Portuguese, but cannot speak it except for a
few words, but starting to develop an ear to the sounds.
First pictures are noon time results
next is My assistant Jair.
Followed by Adrian Pirvu of Romania
followed by my days work.
Take care.
