We have had ALOT of rain lately which is unusual for Haiti. Clothes are not drying and we're all feeling a bit soggy. We're trying to stay positive and be thankful that we aren't experiencing hurricanes or tornadoes right now. Without the sun we also don't have any electricity at night because the invertor doesn't charge during the day. So last night felt a bit like camping, we sat around the oil lamp for a bit then went to bed early.
Yesterday (Monday) was a holiday in Haiti so I was able to spend the day with my parents. I worked in the morning because I had to finish a few things before my parents leave because I need to send it with them. In the afternoon we were hoping to go for a walk but due to the rain we went for a drive instead. We visited a few more of Ysmaille's family and showed my parents the "ritzy" part of town.
Today it's back to work and the school is currently in full swing. My parents leave today. We had a great visit together with lots of chances to talk and just hang out together. I was able to eat some North American food and just get away from Coram Deo for a bit. Of course it was great to see them and have them see the people I talk about and the places I go. Now when I talk to them they will be able to picture what I am talking about.

Bonjou Kim,
Kouman ou ye? I just learned about your blog a few days ago and have enjoyed reading your entries and laughing a little having had similar experiences myself!
Hope that you are still hanging in there now that your parents are gone. You, Karen and the rest of our family there remain in my prayers.
Please tell everyone at the house hello from me and I miss them all...anpil!
