Waiting...

So I have had an interesting first week thus far in Haiti.  Not what I expected, but that's a disaster area for you. :)  I'm disappointed that I have not been able to work out in the community yet, but I also think that this may be good timing, as I will be here to help right away after the storm.  My training and skill set may be needed (here's hoping that it isn't) in the aftermath.  It may come in handy during the storm as well, if the storm ends up being a bad one.  I'm hoping that I can be a calming presence if we end up going into hibernation (locked in our safe spaces).

I have yet to take one picture (not surprising).  Since I did promise to take pictures, I will do my best to take some before I leave.  I'm not promising that there will be many, though.


As a storm update - Tomas has increased back into a hurricane, although it now looks as though it will go further west and will miss us (we'll still get rain).  I'm hoping that it goes even further west - Haiti really doesn't need a hurricane and flooding - they're dealing with enough already.
