All packed and ready to go...

A couple of pics and stories as we relax for our last evening in Haiti. 

The big red door. Today the metal door arrived wet paint and all. The mason smashed out 3 holes in each side of the door way to align with the rebar extensions welded into the door frame. After inserting the door the holes were re-filled with cement. Presto - the door is now in place...once dry it should be secure. We have stored our tools inside for the next work team. 

Second pic is a church on a hill. Our driver wanted to show us his church so we drove down the road then off the beaten track for a while and then squeaked through a narrow cactus bounded path. The picture is the view from where we stopped. The tin roof on the other side of the ravine is the church where 150 people meet each sunday. It was quite a walk...but oh what a view. 

Picture 3 - today's lunch. Fresh bread for sandwiches. Selection of toppings included tomatoes, onion, margarine, mayo, mamba (peanut butter), laughing cow cheese...and...of course Spam. Side dishes were fried banana and popcorn. Gotta love haiti - spaghetti for breakfast, popcorn for lunch. 

Supper was rice&beans, beets, and chicken in a sauce with "stuff" in it. 

Wonderful food the whole time here. We will miss the food and certainly miss our friends who prepared such wonderful meals for us. 

Picture 4. Just hangin out. We moved the couch outside to enjoy the evening breeze. Keith is learning more creole. Brian is re-teaching Glen sudoku. Derek is coaching Brian on teaching Sudoku. Brian isn't fully appreciating the coaching. Roger is taking pictures and posting comments to the blog that Brian won't read until he is home. He's a great team leader and a very good sport. 

Tomorrow we fly from Pigion to the haiti/DR border then drive back to POP. Looking forward to the swim tomorrow. 

Roger (for all)
