Office-boy meets real work


This is a lovely country, and a sweet camp.  My day started with a 10-minute jog and I discovered some sweet trails which I hope to explor more yet.  Then was a 8:30 and I met all the staff officially, and suffered through exorbitant amounts of ridicule. Today’s nick name was “Postie”.  Great. 
The 4 poles I drove over and then pulled out today.
My first task of the day was to fix my broken poles, and it took me half the day.  Turns out they were concreted in and I needed to break through all that. 









Then I went on to join Martin (another volunteer) in destroying an old boiler room in a dorm that is being renovated.  It  was a slow going and messy job, but we finished the room by 5, so that felt good!  I also got to know Martin, a Czech who is a trained chef, snowboard instructor, and is currently traveling for a year! Perhaps an inspiration to me!
The room before.
After a hard days work, half of it in the sun, I was tired.  I’m hoping that I’ll condition quickly because right now a feel like a prissy office-boy, and I don’t like it. I also hope my blisters from the day will heal quickly, for the same reasons.


Tomorrow: Beach day?  And who knows what else!  See ya!


The room after.






New Fact of the day:
Bluegrass is a popular Czech style of music.
