Last Day in the Batey

we wanted everyone to see we are alive and well, this is our latrine, aka bathroom, a little challenging at times, it reminds me how lucky we are to have indoor bathrooms and running water at home, and no cockroaches!
in our backyard in Batey Libertad, our last night before Haiti!
Are time here in the DR has come to an end, for now, and we are looking forward to heading to Haiti tomorrow. If anyone needs to get in touch with us here is our Haitian phone number 590 3481 3811
We are going to take a few days to get settled in and hopefully Meredith will start clinic work on Thursday. Peter will most likely start up gardening and his composting project this week as well. It takes time though to get projects started and to see what the different obstacles will be.
We are looking forward to a visit from Kimball and the Vermont Haiti Project group in November!! Once we are settled and find out where the internet is located we hopefully will be able to do a nice long post with details of our daily schedule and what not.
Today was a bit cooler,high 80s as opposed to high 90s, a real treat for us! We are thinking of everyone at home as it is probably getting darker and colder there! Happy halloween, eat some candy for us!
love, meredith and pierre

  1. Hey kids! I miss you guys so much! So merm: what kind of clinic are you trying to work at? One of the fletcher surgeons and at least one of the OR nurses are heading down there soon...I'll find out where. So I hope the warm air and sunshine are treating you guys well. It sounds like things went well in DR, and I hope that continues in Haiti. I love you guys, and I'll keep in touch.
