However, we clearly weren’t sufficiently careful with all the food pushed on us. The family doesn’t have a good sense of how sensitive American stomachs are. Scott D. was ill last night and spent most of the day resting on a bed at the house. He did manage to join us for a little while in the afternoon. Hopefully, he will be better in a day or two as the antibiotics kick in.
The rest of us managed. After getting bamboo (freshly cut) and other supplies, we were able to install the fiber in the 100m well. We then got ambitious and worked on the 40m well, but the bottom assembly got stuck to high in the well. We tried a second time with a shorter chain but it got stuck in the same spot. Rather than make the same mistakes we did in Jamalganj, we pulled out the entire thing a second time and flushed the cement out of the well. We will take our time and sleep on our options for the well.
