We made it! Boy is it nice to be back. Our flights were surprisingly uneventful....and we arrived to a crazy Haitian airport. The baggage claim was something like i had never seen. half of the bags were taken off of the belt and thrown all over the floor, others were still on the belt. Anyhow...it was interesting. It's a tad warm, but tolerable.
We arrived at the compound safe and sound. something similar to the JP house we stayed in last year. none the less, we will be safe for sure. In fact they were sure to tell us that the UN was down the road on one side and the US embassy was done the road the other direction. good thing!
Some are staying in the house, Heidi and I made our home for the next week in a tent. Comfy cot, fan, tent, what's not to love?
It's going to be an exciting week. A little bits of lots of things, we found out more about where we will be helping out. Some on a peds ward in one of the local hospitals, some time in the we advance clinic, lots of mobile clinics, and not to forget some education in some orphanages. mostly day work, but we are also taking turns on the night shift! I think we are all looking forward to the week ahead.
well, that's it for now.
more later
