Happiness is ...

Kids clowning for us as we walk to town

• walking all the way to the town center and back without getting lost, visiting places Janet knew before the earthquake

The clarin factory close by

•  getting all three Haitian cell phones to work and charged with minutes (one has two SIM cards - Natcom AND Digicel!)

A building on the main town square not yet restored

• cleaning every shower head clog, getting to use one of the wrenches we brought with us, and then enjoying the fuller flow

Electricite de Haiti in Leogane

•  taking data on electricity usage, and collaborating with Richard, our day-time security man, on improvements

The river near the guesthouse

• eating Yvette's amazing meals - including lots of fresh veggies and fruits and fabulous sauces

Loaded Sailboat - which way is it going?

meeting a Haitian UN worker at Hopital Ste. Croix who enjoyed talking politics

Cleaning up after an accident out in front of the guesthouse

talking back and forth to both our kids over the Internet

Pretty if not seaworthy?

• improving our ability to speak and understand Kreyol, and getting kudos for our efforts from the guesthouse staff

One of the many pretty wood houses in town
