Back in Jeremie

Yesterday morning I woke up at 3:40 to be ready for Doudou to pick me up in his taptap (a truck with benches in the back). I was thankful for the priveleged seat up front. He actually picked me up around 4:30, and by 8am we had completed the 48 km trip. Yes, 3.5 hours for 48km, but that's how it is here. The the roads are amazing really.

I am now living in comparative luxury. I'm staying in an apartment owned by the Haitian Health Foundation, with electricity and running water and a beautiful view, and I have my own housekeeper. It's strange really, and so I've just asked that she leave enough fruit and bread for breakfast and dinner and only make lunch as a big meal. That way she can come when she'd like for laundry and the rest.

It's back to work now, too. There is a lot to get done before we have the seminars in a month. The chosen teachers don't even know who they are yet!
