Day #3
Went to the orphanage today after a challenge of getting the boat ti pick us up. Once getting to the orphanage we, worked hard and met Damian and his group of Irish workers building schools and farms throughout Haiti. The team we met (Soul of Haiti) is working with Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood to build a school. They are here in Haiti and have been offering free concerts to the group every night. Nice to see that the celebrity support for Haiti is still present. Rumors are that Sean Penn and Angelina Jolie will be in this week but nothing confirmed. Saw a few children today. The funniest part of the day was that we were looking for a place in the shade to eat our lunch, and found ourselves sitting on Cholera stretchers eating lunch. Another day ended swimming in the ocean with a cold Prestige, and amazing dinner and card games over rum sours. We got to do the most amazing thing today. There is a small sandbar literally in the middle of the ocean with water about two feet deep that surrounds it, and we got to go swimming there. It is so weird to look around and realize that you are in the middle of the ocean and walking in shallow water. My teammates had a great time picking starfish out of the water and we all swam while watching the sun set. Already looking forward to tomorrow. Life is good!!
