Slept really well again last night. Seems the conditions are agreeing with me. No allergies or any other problems. I think I love Haiti. Going to Chambrun tomorrow with Cooper. He speaks a bit of Creole and knows his way around there. The children that go to the school live there. They have to be the happiest people in the world when they come to learn. They are so loud you have to turn and look. We served Beans and rice, tea bisquits, carrot soup and peanut butter cookies. Went into Port au Prince again today to get more groceries and witnessed even more of the destruction. Whole apartment buildings collapsed on themselves. It is so very sad that this should have to happen to such a fantastic people. Our driver today told us that a lot of the people living in tents were actually living in them before the earthquake, but his family will not sleep inside there repaired house, choosing to sleep outside where they feel it is safer. The city is full of tap taps. These are pickup trucks that have a bench on both sides in the back and a little roof on them. They ride from point to point for 25 cents. I just found out today as well that a lot of the motorcycles that we see are also tap taps. No one has to wear a helmut to ride them and it really looks kind of dangerous. Oh well. Served up Spaghetti and home made meatballs, home made Cinnamon coffee cake and fresh french stick. Oh well, off to bed. See you tomorrow God Bless

The Rev. here, Our girls will be jealous. They loved Haiti. Sounds like a good experience. At your kitchen location, will you be cooking for 2 to 3 dozen folks/day for the whole two weeks or do you cook food that is sent out to the tent camps? Also, can Mercy Chefs access food stock piled in warehouses as supplies are low and of questionable quality in the store? Do you get to talk with the local clients much? More soon.We are praying. In Him, Jim
