... Montréal, vers les 19 heures. Je ne sais pas encore si ce sera payant, mais si ce l'est, ce sera pour la cause de Médecins du Monde Canada.<br><br>Au plaisir de vous y voir!<br><br>Marc<br><br>English: no big concern for you, guys, as I'm inviting my folks from Montreal to a conference I'll be giving on World's Aids Day. Should you wish to fly in and assist, let me know! Cheers!<br>

... and Jarod go in the water park thing, It looked like they were having fun, but apparently they weren&#8217;t. Apparently the water was full of garbage and the bottoms of the stuff were covered with barnacles and all kinds of stuff. Then we went back to the ship, and during supper, our waiter taught us this thing with spoons, where you basically slingshot it into the glass&#8230; I got it in like 3 times! Uh-huh! Ya&#8230; anyway ...

... photos des dernières semaines. La vie ici, une sortie à la plage, de l'art local. Allez! <br><br>Vous allez bien, vous?<br><br>Bises<br><br>Marc <br><br>Hi group!<br><br>The honeymoon with Haiti is over, it really is. Yep. But no worries, I won't get a divorce. Staying here. Last week, I went through rough days, where all the local frustrations hit me. It took me 6 moths, in Viet Nam to get there, took me 3 months here. Getting better? <br><br>Got a ...

... while also pointing at the needs for ILO to be here. You'll see me go through the screen just like Hitchcock used to do! Enjoy!<br><br>Lien/Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vJps-5u gBY&amp;feature=email<br><br>Ciao!<br>< br>Richard<br><br> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vJps-5u gBY <br>

... a me dit pas. <br> <br> Bon, maison. Donc notre maison est à flanc de chanceux, on est très chanceux de pouvoir avoir une maison comme ça. Remarquez que Richard travaille pas mal fort dans sa job, il le mérite bien! Voyez vous-mêmes si ça vous dit. La propriétaire avait à l'époque un atelier de lampes Tiffany, et il y en a quelques exemplaires dans la maison, elles sont belles. Et il y a plusieurs statues haitiennes, très jolies, pleines de rondeurs féminines, très appréciées ...

... past few nights, when the generator has stopped at the usual hour of 10, I have headed to bed. Tonight, I feel like a child who&#8217;s being shooed off to hit the sack right when she&#8217;s at the end of a really good mystery, with only a few pages left before she&#8217;ll find out whodunit. And so here I am, hiding under the covers with a big computer screen of a flashlight, being rebellious!<br><br>Okay ...

We flew out of Fort Lauderdale and over the beautiful blue Carribean waters and islands. We approached Haiti from the North side of the island and then south to Port Au Prince. I have to admit that I have never flown so close the mountains before in a big jetliner but it was exciting. The island from the air was beautiful but the deforestation was unbelievable. The Haitians use the wood from trees for charcoal to cook ...

... These writings are based solely on my impressions and perceptions. Where to begin? So far, and somewhat unexpectedly, Haiti is primarily a place, like many others, where people live their daily lives, where there is a lay of the land, and where the surroundings and weather are notable and play a significant part. Details follow from there, and many things differ, sometimes wildly, from the places and ...

... as a paradise that it seems to be. There is a library there, though not all can read. Several of the children asked for money for school. Since I didn't have much with me, I could not offer them any help in this matter. While in Chantal, I found several women in my neighborhood with new babies. At least three or four women had given birth since I had left last year. Only one was married. The children are adorable, but I have no idea how these women ...

... they were supposed to fly down to Les Cayes, but they missed their flight, so now have to drive down. It is a good character building exercise. I do not like it, but it is a good way to see the country, up close, and rocky. Certain parts of the road are good, the other parts, well, where the river washed it away or left debris behind, they are not too good. At least there hasn't been any rain (which is not good) so the roads were passable this time ...
