It's hot here inside tonight, but perfectly warm and beautiful outside. I had a chance to lie on the roof with my kids under a sky filled with stars. There were more stars than I ever get to see living in a big city. And the swooping bats just added to a beautiful end to the day.
We had a visit to the hospital today where we greeted old friends and passed on hellos from Canada. The kids and I had a nice refreshing dip in the pool before we took motorcycle-taxis back to the orphanage. Mariah and Ariane jumped on one, myself and Tevan on another and Josiah on the third.
This afternoon, Mariah helped cook food for the workers at the school, while Ariane and I sent ut more school photos of children to their sponsors.
We had the fun of riding in the back of the truck to go and fill up two big barrels of diesel to run the generator. We REALLY should not complain about the cost of gas compared to the cost here. The total bill for the two barrels - $3428.00 Haitian!
Another trip along the canal this afternoon and this time we were able to bring Pal, the german shepherd, and Karen. Pal had the kids in stitches running like crazy and jumping in the canal. He was like a puppy again. I was very happy to have dragged my mom away from the never-ending work for a short walk in nature.
Until tomorrow!
