Sunday- A day of rest!

This is our last day to bask in the warmth of the Haitian sun. Half the group rose at 0630 to join Thony at his church. After the service they were treated to a meal at Thony's parents home. It sounded like a fantastic way to spend the morning. The rest of our group "slept in" and re-organized the supplies we were leaving behind for Global DIRT. Once the church group returned we started off for the beach. It was a long two hour ride in the party van, but the end point was well worth it! The beach resort was just breath taking. The way the mountains met the water reminded me of Maui. We swam, sat in the sand, some snorkeled, hunted for sea shells and just relaxed. A few of our interpreters, Joe Wolf, Junior, Jameson & Shaba, joined us for a day of rest as well. It was such a treat to decompress in such a oasis. We stayed until the sun almost set and made the drive back. Vaness was kind enough to have left us some dinner. One last meal of chicken and beans with rice. The evening ended with chatting in the courtyard. Looking forward to seeing my family, but sad to leave Haiti. Until next time...
