Another productive day has passed. I love watching all these artists work. They have such dedication, patience and endurance. They never even consider giving up when things don't work out the way they want; they simply start another plate with another image, learn from previous mistakes and make it better. The learning and improvement curve is amazing to watch. We had the full crew (except Mateo) all morning; four left throughout the afternoon for various reasons. Felipe's foot always starts hurting in the afternoon (with the wound from the palm three thorn he stepped on two weeks ago) and Mistra had to go to work to clean offices.
A small anecdote from this morning that keeps me chuckling all day: Verena and I went grocery shopping again this morning for supplies for three more guisos. Among other things, I chose a thinner kind of noodle this time for one guiso (similar to spaghetti thickness) instead of the thicker fettucini kind. Verena saw them and told me, “I'm not sure if they'll like the thinner noodles. Someone said once, 'we don't like to eat those ostrich-worms'.” So, I bought the wider noodles instead. :)
Our daily routines consist mostly of very concentrated work (see individual reports below) and of course the Tereré breaks with pomelo, which have been freshly harvested in town. It is said that the best grapefruit in the world grow in the Chaco, and I do believe it (Just look at that basket! Thanks Sina!).
