Haiti: Journal Entry #12

Morning started with an impromptu dance party with the kids while we waited for Erwin, Mama's brother, to take us to the waterfalls for our day off.

SO MUCH JOY.

Orpha seemed particular sad this morning, however. None of us could figure out why.

Traveled by pickup to the waterfall. Something like 8 or 9 "guides" attached themselves to our group to take us to it. Such a beautiful place, and so refreshing. Another hour via pickup to the beach, first time we got to see/step foot in the ocean here.

Stayed until sunset. Then, back in the pickup, the girls asking to sit in the truck bed again, warm rain pouring down, and singing at the top of our lungs as the truck travel at top speeds down Haitian highways back to Port-au-Prince to be greeted by kisses from 55 children. Life is good. Sooo tired, but want to remember the gift today was.
