Maria log Day 22, October 13, 2017, Friday

Friday, the 13th of October

Today was pretty much a work day. We're starting to build a shade for the horses.

There are two phrases that are starting to show up on hand-painted signs, T-shirts and hats:

"Puerto Rico, se lavanta" - Puerto Rico, rise up!
"No me quito" - literally means "I'm  not withdrawing" so "I'm not leaving" "I'm not pulling out."

As near as I can tell, like so much of the recovery effort so far, this is a grassroots, bottom up effort. I'm sure at some point the government will co-opt it but for now it's still in the hands of the people.

Love Fridays! It's pizza night at Carole and Rolf's..
