June 11, 2013 They have started tearing down the temporary bridge

 When we went out today guess what…they have started tearing down the temporary bridge to our boarding.

A detour has been provided. It is quite a ways around it but we do have access to the outside. 

 It has only been since last October that the “temporary” built by the community bridge has been there.  Yes, again South Africa is quite slow in what they do.  We can only hope it is finished before we leave…at least they are starting on it.  That all sounds negative, but it is what it is.  So much is done the hard slow way using mostly manual labor and very little equipment.  It works but is painfully slow. Not too often do you see a backhoe or much of any big equipment so we are very hopeful as this job looks like it will be done with modern equipment.
