Not to much time to write, all is going well here. I have been kind of low on energy lately... think it is the heat... Went to the bakery the other day and thought I would take some pictures for you all. The big thing in the back is the oven. The roller in the foreground flattens the dough. Had some rain today which was nice. It looks like I may be coming home for a visit in September! I will probably be coming home to work on a documentary, then come back to Haiti late December early January. Looking forward to seeing all of you.
There is also a chance that I am going to singapore to visit Josh and Rebecca! These kids are Rob and Anne-Marie's. The dog just had puppies and they are pretty happy about it. It is a lot of fun hanging out with these kids, its like having little sisters all over again (don't worry Leith and Tash you aren't getting out of being my little sisters that easily) This week I have been working on a concrete form for the hospital fence and helping out a team that is here. It has been going good but I feel like I have been really dragged down by fatigue.
From top to bottom: Lisa is very introspective and sensitive, miriam is very expressive and vocal, anna-rose is very active and is quite a dancer. They are all very sweet (most of the time:) and make staying here a lot easier. I do not work all the time. While Josh and I where here we went down to the beach and relaxed in the shade of the cave. Well over the next few weeks I will be trying to finish up all the projects that I am involved in before going back to the States. Pray that I make the most of my few remaining days here and that I am prepared for re-entry back into a first world culture.
I will probably be working pretty intensely on this project so when I get back I am going to try to set a strict routine as far as going to bed and getting up etc... that will be a change for me since I often like to work and hang out with friends late at night. Going back to the States from a 3rd world country can be pretty weird. I remember coming back from Haiti the fist time as a kid and just being amazed at the endless street lights over the Bay bridge on the way home and just wondering how anyone could afford to pay for it. Sometimes it seems like the economic success that we enjoy in the States should not be possible. It is like the law of gravity being broken. It may sound odd but that is the impression I got coming back after being away for some time.
Are there any pictures that you would like to see on my blog that you have not seen. Let me know and I will take one and put one up. Something odd, some days here after speaking kreole most of the day I have a hard time pronouncing in English... hmm... well I look forward to seeing you all soon.

great pics.. man o man im craving some hot bread and mamba picante - can you bring back some (probably not)... I would like to see more pics of YOU! Can't wait to see you. We can make the transition easier by making everybody speak Kreole for a day. ha that would not last.. dad would mix in some french and we would all be done for.
Dustin! We can't wait for you to come and visit. Glad that everything worked out. See you soon.
well, today at camp i talked kreol with a lady who goes to the church that came up to visit!! what a surprise - so weird to be speaking with a Haitian at the lake!
