A typical day

At training in the first day, the powers that be try to keep people involved and keep from having only one person talking all day by breaking it into pieces. This year I was asked to talk about a typical day. with more experience (this is my 6th trip), I'm not sure there really is such a thing, but I agreed to try...(And thus far this year, I suppose this has been the typical day)

Up early (6 for me, though my partner gets up at 530)

Breakfast at 630 at the hotel restaurant: eggs, chips (potato wedges), white bread, and tea (or coffee)
*if you want to choose your dinner you should order it now, otherwise you eat what they have when you get back

Get your Field Officer or Installation Supervisor and go load the truck with pipes, pumps, and pieces for well installations

Stop at a shop to pick up lunch supplies (bread, peanut butter, biscuits (cookies), drinks)

Drive, drive, drive (we on Team 2 are known as the cleanup crew and often the wells are some distance apart)

Get to first well or first parking spot to start the hike to the first well (greet, install, dedicate, dance)

Drive, drive, Drive to second well (repeat throughout the day)

Stop for lunch under a tree so that you have shade and continue on

@4 start your way back toward where you stay so that you return before dark (6pm)

Shower, do the backups for the well info, plug things up to charge

Eat dinner

Prep for the next day (get water ready, climb under mosquito net)

SLEEP!!
