Let Me In

We got back to Haiti last week. It is good to be back home. I wasn't sure what I would think about leaving and coming back since I haven't left since November. But, again, I am really happy to be back. We are busy with a nanny training seminar and many visitors.

My friend Hillary is finally here in Haiti after her drama in Miami and me having to leave her there over night. She is now seeing Haiti the real way - in the back of the truck with all our other guests. (She is the one in the middle.) Many of our trips have to do with long wild rides in the back of our truck. When we finally stopped long enough for her to look in the mirror she said - you didn't tell me I was grey. She wasn't talking about the roots of her hair either, it was the ever present layer of dust.

I keep asking her if she would like to write a blog but maybe she isn't sure what she thinks. She has heard me talk about Haiti for eight years and now it is her own experience. It must be OK because she says she is coming back in October to do our "Walk For Haiti" in the mountains to Jacmel.

I will keep you posted with details about the walk.......it will be an adventure.
