Beautiful Day in Jacmel

Rick,Barb and Doug woke up to no power and no water in our hotel. It makes you so happy when you have cold water! Rick walked Barb to where the nurses are staying and then Rick and Doug walked to hospital. Rick to do some surgery and Doug to meet Dentist. The nurses with Barb went to vista an orphanage that was recently built by the same builder. We also brought stuffed animals for each child. Thank you Alana for carrying them to Haiti and thank you mom2moms for the donation.  The nurses then toured the work sites.  Already rafters were up and the foundations were staked for additional building! Next week the nurses will assist the Haitians working side by side when the nurses are not giving lectures to nursing students or assisting with primary care clinic. Rick and Doug met us attune work site and we all took a tap tap ride to the beach. The breeze was refreshing and so was the cola. When we returned we did practice walks around Jacmel so everyone could know the landmarks when they get lost! Rick, Barb and Doug had a wonderful dinner, a visit with Dr Oda and some time to reflect!  Good news before bed the water came on and we loved the cold showers!
Grateful, Barb
