Yoga at 7:30 on the grass out front, breakfast of watermelon, papaya, pineapple, toast with butter, peanut butter and jam, coffee, juice, scrambled eggs at Port Morgan Hotel. emails, Charging batteries, the LiOn charger still works, pretty amazing considering how hot it got that it almost burst into flames, but our luck is holding so far.
Met two reporters and their school teacher wives who have been staying at the new hotel around the point and helping out with l’Ecole de Village in a nearby village. Nice people, we will be in touch by email as they are leaving today for Port au Prince.
10:30 Begin giving out 20 or so sails, all the shoes, food, clothes, fabric etc. Quite an exciting event for all.
I took lots of photos, one with each man or woman who received sails or shoes, and many more during the other goods distributions. Afterwards we shut the library and I went for a snorkle/swim in the bay, followed by an Incredible lunch of spicy cabbage and carrot cole slaw with the Caribbean specialty of fried spicy meat turnovers, washed down with lots of lemonade followed by a whole young coconut full of milk and tender meat for desert. Life is good here in paradise.
Great to meet you, however brief. It was our first visit and we hope to be back soon. Greatly admire the work you are doing on the island.
