Just returned from our Thanksgiving supper on the beach. Swam in turquoise colored WARM ocean water during the sunset, roasted hot dogs over a fire and added fried plantain chips, little Haitian fry bread, baked pasta with cheese and a sweet squash dessert with a pineapple topping. We had a generator with lights and beautiful tropical music playing nearby. Not the traditional Thanksgiving but we wouldn't have wanted it any other way!
We had a wonderful last day in the school with our children learning English. At our closing large group time we had students from each class show and display something they were taught and then one of the Haitian instructors attempted to teach all of us numbers and colors in Creole. That gave the students a huge laugh! Some of the students were crying to say good-bye and pretty much all of shed some tears also!
Tomorrow we leave for the orphanage which is actually about 45 minutes north of Port au Prince au Prince. Time to try and upload some pictures which tell so much more than I can type! SOO thankful to be in Haiti!
Praying for all of you still...for continued health and safety and lots to get done. The snow pretty much is melted up here in the northwoods and it is a little warm for Thanksgiving. Lots to be thankful for all around!
