Castle Contra

 September 20th,

  Our regular driver Jim has found himself ill for the past two days and so a kind volunteer from our housing department offered to work an extra day (typically housing works mon-thur) and give us a hand on site which was very kind of her.  Before heading to our site we we're prompted with several trips of hardware to move and stack plus a pull-behind and a full pick up to unload currently stuffed with furniture and fixings. Once our days work had been completed I cleaned up, packed, and headed out to meet a large amount of other CAP volunteers at a hot air ballon blow off in Beria.  Beria itself is a relaxed, down to earth hipster town and so naturally I was instantaneously entranced with it's inhabitants as I was equally so with it's visage; It is as if the people here have not yet figured out our secret recipe of consumption and self-absorbed, self-righteous, self-conciousness. Contra dancing soon followed and before long I find myself seated in this large dark room, all others have set their minds at peace while I habitually record the colors I have seen at two thirty am.  I will be staying here at Rock Castle House until next sunday, however this sunday through friday is our CAP orientation which will be fantastic but most certainly tiring.  For now it is sufficient to say that I have family here in CAP and I love every one of them as my very blood.  The Lord has been good to me.
