Sorry for the lack of a post. We've had a lack of excitement.
The past few days have been uneventful, quite frankly. No thieveries, no births, no catastrophes. Brandi hurt her back so she's been on house arrest. Jill and I had cabin fever so we joined with the group working on public health and have hiked two 6 mile days asking questions about what kind of water purification system that they have, if they have toilets, if they use them...it is relatively close to what we are doing. We've taught English, we've played played with the kids, we've slept outside, we've read, we've watched movies...we're basically losing our minds. The mornings are filled with hiking and interrogation, but the afternoons are full of nothings.
Sunday, however, we went to Haitian church. I finally heard some harmony in the singing, but very little. The Haitian way of singing is to sing as loud as possible. Disregard tune, key, pitch, tone, and beautiful likenesses. I don't know how it happened, but I was conned into singing. So, with ukulele in hand, I sang "Amazing Grace" hoping that someone would know it and sing along. The English-speaking folk joined in, but no one else. Other than the fact that it was 90 degrees, no a/c, 3 hour service, and we couldn't understand anything that was taught, it was quite fun.
Since then...nothing has happened.
Luckily, we're all going to Jacmel Friday because Saturday we have some people to drop off at the airport from the group that came in. Maybe there will be some adventure in that, but as of now, there isn't much going on at all.
Oh, and the title makes about as much sense as the blog.
