Bonjour groupe! (English at the end)<br><br> Comment allez-vous? Ça rafraîchit au Québec? Bien ici aussi, car il doit bien faire un petit 20 degrés tard le soir...<br><br>OK, trève de québécoiseries, j'ai une annonce à faire. Dans le cadre de la journée mondiale du vih/sida, le premier décembre, j'irai passer quelques jours à Montréal pour faire de la représentation pour Médecin du Monde ...

... off those damn flickering lights! What the hell is the matter with her! <br> <br> But my brain, of course, imagined far worse things, akin to Jack Nicholson in The Shining or the knife scene in Psycho.

... the Four Seasons of Haitian accomodations! My only caveat is I find my mattress on the floor. I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep with the paranoia of things crawling on me in the night. Luckily they find a bed frame for me. We sit down for our first meal; vegetable platter, goat, plantains, avocado, bean sauce, and rice. At this point, they are cooking with fresh oil so the goat is tasty. After dinner, people shower, it's a ...

I woke up early this morning to take one last walk on the beach and watch the beautiful blue ocean waves come in. We ate breakfast consisting of eggs and bread toasted on one side???? We never really figured out why they only toasted the bread on one side but never the less it was still good. We packed up the trucks and the guys secured the PVC pipe one final time before we made the long drive back to Port Au Prince. We still had ...

... middle ground. We know The Powers That Be can turn it on - or off - at any time. Candlelight dinners have lost their romantic connotation. Some are fortunate enough to have generators and inverters whic provide power 24/7. But we are not so lucky. I just wish They would stick to a schedule :-( Earlier this week, we passed an electric facility built and paid for by the ...

Finally the guys work their magic and into a big ...

After receiving shots for pain, the wounds are cleaned and patched up correctly. They decide to keep her overnight so they can rebandage her in the morning. JR leads us down the mountain. Much easier going down although I can feel the sun burning my neck. The boys have ...

... airport in Port au Prince. The airport is now air conditioned. These improvements may not seem like much but they represent a huge leap in the infrastructure. The mountain road has been receiving major work in the last two years and while it would not be an acceptable road here, it is 100 times better than 2 years ago.

I have always dreamed of living in a cultural setting other than my own, in learning another language and live Gospel inculturation elsewhere - and, thanks be to God, I am doing that in Haiti. I have always dreamed of living ...
