Enjoying a lazy Saturday

After sleeping in incredibly late until 6:20 AM, I rolled out of bed.  It was still reasonably cool.  We made our own breakfast, something that we can do in this old house with only 3 of us (see earlier post on 'Roughing It').  We had fresh bread that we picked up yesterday from a boulangerie on the way home from Liancourt.  It was hot and fresh and we enjoyed a helping yesterday the minute we got back to the house.   In Kay Alumni where we usually stay, the Haitian staff make all the meals for up to 10 or more people.  We eat lunch and dinner there.  The food is simple but plentiful and there is always a tiny bit of guilt in my head about eating comfortably in a country with so much food insecurity and so many hungry people.  There is a 4th Health Volunteers Overseas person on campus right now.  She is an OB-Gyn who has worked in many places in the developing world.  We have had long discussions with her about Hospital Albert Schweitzer and similar places in the world.  The native and foreign people that you meet and interact with here are one of the most intriguing aspects of the trip.  We took a walk down the "corridor" (main drag) and campus late this morning and I was drenched in sweat by the time we finished.  It is hot and still; tropical heat.  Don't be too alarmed by the State Department warnings if you are reading them.  All is quiet out here in the country.  I'll see you in a week.
