Well, the last few days have consisted of a lot of reading, a lot of hot chocolate (yes, in the 85 degree weather), and a lot of movies downloaded from iTunes. Not much else you can do when it's been raining for the whole week! There have actually been quite a few deaths in Haiti and a lot of missing people due to mudslides and flooding - thankfully none near us.
But on Saturday I woke up at 7 to
SUNSHINE in my face!! Decided to take full advantage of the day & spent the early morning outside reading, then tagged along with the Canadian team on a trip up to the mountains. Stopped at the artisan co-op on the way - I tried to convince myself that I didn't need to buy anything else, but everything was so beautiful!! I reasoned it by saying that I was supporting local artists, which is true...
From there we headed up into the mountains above Port-Au-Prince. We made it just in time, because the clouds rolled in about 20 minutes after we got there! The pictures speak for themselves - all I can say is that this country seems to get more beautiful and inspiring the more I see of it.

Yesterday was a day of football & laying by the pool. And today was back to clinic! I spent the morning doing some inventory for the visiting speech pathologist, because she's leaving tomorrow and ran out of time to finish things up. Pretty soon that will be me! Crazy how this time has flown by...
I hope everyone is staying safe as the hurricane hits home!!
