Warm - 94 degrees - but beautiful with a little shower this afternoon. Seems the locals (older folks) were more open and willing to converse better today even with the language barrier. (Even had some good laughs.)
Work from my perspective was not all that difficult as long as you switched off and had enough water. Certainly is manual labor.
The children played several games today and are pretty much open to all things fun. Have to have their pictures taken and see it, even the youngest ones.
Our team has related very well and enjoy all of each other's company. Accomodations are like luxury to what the average Haitian has.
Kissmeer our interpreter has worked well with us. We are able to joke with him and he can give it back just as good.
We finished the sand pile for either cement or stucko today and expect a new load of sand for tomorrow.
The Hatian people are very friendly and happy even with their meger existence.
Driving is an adventure - the most important part of the vehicle is the horn. No seat belts and riding in the open back of the trucks -- like the old days when you were a kid. Passing on a curve is okay here, just keep blowing your horn. For the average North American, it is truly a ride you have never experienced.
I wonder if you were to come back in a hundred years if much will have changed.
Off to do an email before the power shuts down...
