more on living

When the shit hits the fan, make sure you have these two guys at your back. Last night was a full moon. Below is the view from the Bay Klub where we dined and where we'll have our shrimp feast on Saturday. The moon makes seeing at night incredibly easy so last night we sat up on the roof and admired the land scape at the farm. The roof is the coolest place around and there are very few bugs. If only we had a tent... we could rest very easy on the warm summer nights....Below is a picture of me, Eddie and Andy. Andy's leaving to go work as a UN volunteer in East Timor. Everyone thinks he should stay. He will be missed and I'll have some large shoes to fill in taking over some of the programs he has been running. Perhaps he should listen to what the voices say and rest longer en Haïti.
And today Charlotte and I walked to the open market in Les Cayes with Johnny. Johnny acted as guide, escort and insurance that we wouldn't get over charged. We bought a bunch of banannas, 2 large papaya, and 6 oranges for 150 gourdes. That's about $4 American. Not too bad for first timers, I'd say.
