Well, I'm enjoying the best internet connection I've had so far and I'll try to take advantage of it. Although electricity has been good (most nights) this doesn't gaurantee that the internet works.
To quickly update you on what I've been up to days 2 and 3...
Yesterday I spent most of the day at school. We met with the teachers in the morning. We went over long range plans and scheduling. It went well. It was great to see the former teachers and meet the new teachers. It looks like a stellar staff this year. I really look forward to working with them. Their year long plans were well organized and they were eager to get to work. Next week they will come in each morning to set up their classrooms and start planning in more detail. Yesterday afternoon I did some administrative work and then we went looking for a car. Today we also spent most of the day looking for a car. We got some good leads, we're waiting for a few phone calls back with some more information and then we'll make our decision. It'll be nice to have my own vehicle. Tonight I went to the Bible Study at the school, there was a good turnout and it was interesting for me, but I need to work on my creole a bit to understand more. Tomorrow we're going to the beach... I know, rough life. We are going to be meeting with the pastor that works near Kalico beach and we're going to visit him and his family and enjoy the beach at the same time.
On a less factual note, I am really happy to be in back in Haiti. The transition has gone well so far. I feel like I've come home in many ways. I still know quite a few people here and I'm meeting new people all the time. It's good to be back. Pictures to come soon, I promise...
