One of the Funnest Jobs ever!  All of the amigos brought their own stoves everyday and always offered me fresh Mexican food straight from their Senioritas at home.  In times of struggle, they came to my rescue—I was surrounded by superheroes.  I also felt like a queen considering the fact that I was the only girl among electricians, plumbers, cement layers, the whole nine yards.  Heck, I was granted my own porter potty.  Life couldn’t get any better than this.

At the time, I was working for RND Framing where my position was of course, framing.  The first week on the job was a test where I had to do all the remedial work around the site–sweeping in the hot blazing sun and putting tools back where they belonged.  Of course in knowing that these tasks were only to see if I could hack the heat, I set out to accomplish all of them, no questions asked (extra motivated to not make a bad impression for myself and women in general).  I was quick to win the trust of my former boss Basilio Viorato and we immediately became family.  He definitely made it for top 3 bosses of all time.   The unit in the above picture is only one among 8 others that me and the team worked on for about 6 months.

How in the world did I end up here?  Let’s say I’ve been assisting my dad with carpentry projects since I was a kid.  It was time to upgrade from tool time in my garage.  Can you believe that I had my own tools hahaha!

Cuban food that Suz couldn’t stop talking about.  I understood why after the heavenly goodness touched my tongue.

You see the vest my brother is wearing?  He couldn’t even use it because there was no waterfall to swim in…  It turns out the waterfall likes to disappear during summer time hahahhaa.

My little cousin Joy was the only one to bring an air mattress.  Everyone else slept on rocks… and woke up with neck and back aches the next morning. hahahah

Someone had the brains to set up one of the tents on a hill.  The people in that tent all woke up on the bottom of the slope on top of one another hahaha.

We checked out a cabin with the privilege of setting up one additional tent outside.  Not knowing of this rule, we set up three tents and was constantly harassed by the ranger the whole trip.  Boy was that fun.

The Gun Show

My cousins in a normal state

My cousins tweezing hairs with their bare fingers…

We’re all laughing at the fact that one of my cousins brought a full bag of hard boiled eggs.  Turns out, his mom packed them for him… just as we all predicted.

The notorious Magnum boots that failed.  My cousin Julian was slipping and sliding the whole time during our hiking excursion.

We all made it to the top where there was a telescope that didn’t work.  WOW. hahhaha
