School starts again tomorrow. We had Spring Break followed by a teaching seminar last week, so I'm looking forward to seeing those cute little kids in those cute little uniforms.
Today I had a proud parent tell me that her 3 year old son, a student of mine, went up to a visiting American in the street and boldly asked, "What is your name?" The mom said she about fell over when she heard her son say that because she had no idea he knew how to ask that in English.

LaMare

Last weekend I ventured out of Pignon and took a fun little trip to LaMare. The river was down and the roads were good; my 4-wheeler had no problem at all. LaMare is a tiny place in the middle of nowhere. It was cool to be back there. My first few trips to Haiti were spent out in LaMare. Being there brought back many memories and I remember now why I first fell in love with this country...

my friend Bitho and his goddaughter...

great smile...

braiding hair...

I'm still here

Just wanted to say sorry for the lack of posts and that I'm alive and ok. I've been crazy-busy for several weeks now and access to internet has been more difficult than usual. I think things will be getting better...
There is a group from Lafayette (ECC) working out in LaMare this week, so I'm going out on my 4-wheeler to visit them for the day. Have a great weekend!
