So today was not a great day but I still loved it. First of all, because I was up all night until about 630 this morning, by the time I fell asleep I slept right through church. When I managed to wake up all I got was a splitting headache. I spent most of the day with the children just simply sitting around and relaxing. We had a little incident with one of the dogs attacking one of the boys. He was fine though, just got scratched a little bit on his leg. At a about 3:45, Roland and I went along to St. Louis with Sony because he had to take some people to church and drop off some equipment. We spent the rest of the night at the mission base hanging out with the other interpreters and Erin, Maureen, and Chuck and his wife. It was really relaxing and nice to talk with everyone to learn a little more about them. We got to walk around downtown a little while waiting for Sony to meet us and go back to the orphanage. On our way back to the orphanage Roland and I chatted about the differences in American laws and government and Haitian. I really enjoyed this day of relaxation however I still don’t feel very good. I have figured out the reason for my sickness. It is either the fish that I have been eating of the cola that I have been drinking. So I am going to politely eliminate those two things from my diet and hope for the best. So one of the girls, named Nerland, at the orphanage got back from vacation a few days ago and today she gave me a 10 lesson English/Creole textbook to use to help with my transition. I am pretty excited for school to start up next week so I will have a little more time to study. Sunday is no more. Peace.
