Today, we started the day with a challenge: a quiz on the sights of yesterday. After taking the quiz, we went back to painting houses. We painted the outside of the house an ivory color, and we painted the inside ceilings white. The woman whose house we painted was very nice, and we talked to her while taking small breaks or painting the inside. Her name is Sharley, and she was very happy that we were there to paint her house for her. She was elder wasn’t in the best health but she had spirit, and you could tell that she loved where she lived. We took a quick break for lunch at a park in Gate City. We encountered a swing that was too high, and tried to fix it. Although we originally messed it up even more, we eventually fixed it by getting it stuck and unstuck again. After our lunch break, we returned to the site to continue our painting. We will continue painting tomorrow. We also participated in a challenge set by the chaperones, but this time the rewards were MILKSHAKES. Will Pace ‘cleverly’ ordered the large-small milkshake, and then the big-large milkshake. (These are not actual milkshakes.) After our painting, we went to Lay’s Hardware, where we danced with the locals. It started out kind of awkward, but it quickly became natural when they invited us to dance with them. We all thoroughly enjoyed this, and wish we could go back. Returning back to the DDC, we played some more cornhole, but the results were a little disappointing, as we lost. To lower our moods, we also lost the quiz challenge from this morning, but we were even more motivated to win the upcoming challenges. And that leads us to where we are now: writing this blog.
