Mariah beside the poolIt was a really great day today - not too hot, but just right. I had a chance to catch up with more old friends, including a godson of Don's who I still stay in touch with and bring small gifts for. I had a chance to give skirts to all of the girls in the school Christmas concert - they were quite excited to try them on and find one they liked. We got Grammy out walking by the canal again today, but ended up going farther than we had hoped. As the sun began to set, the mosquitos and bugs came out in force - they were in our eyes, mouth and nose! We ran through the bug clouds all the way back to the mission.
The couple Ariane mentioned are an American doctor and his wife who were at the nearby hospital last year and are doing vacation relief this year. They saw Tifi when she was first abandoned at the school - she was like a bag of bones, completely unresponsive and unable to do anything. When they saw her today walking alone to them to give them a hug, they were astounded at how much progress she had made. She is just now beginning to say a few words, but she is craving attention and coming out of her shell. The woman called Karen "a miracle worker".

Hello all -
I'm glad to be able to read about your adventures in Haiti now that I am home for Christmas. My computer died and so I have been a bit out of the loop lately. But I am getting caught up now on all the news and I have read all the posts! Keep up the good work and have a great time. Wish I could be there too!
XOXOXO
Good job Ariane
I have been to Haiti 3 times but never on a Tap Tap. Glad you have a pool to swim in. The Market is hectic but I always enjoy it. Thanks for your daily postings, I can not go to bed until I here from you.
