Only 2 days to go

We made the journey back to Port-a-Price today - 4 hours in the bus. It's 36 degrees today. Some of the journey was a stunning drive along the edge of the ocean.
Our hotel for the last two nights is much more the kind of hotel we are used to.
The food is normal to us. For the last three days I've eaten very little, just rice and a few homemade chips. I've avoided the sickness that has hit about a third of the group. Apparently it's normal for travelling groups to get sick here.
The rest of the day we have to ourselves - it will be good to have some time to process everything we've seen and heard, to eat some clean food and to wash some clothes.
Tomorrow Linzi will meet little Esther who's being brought here for a big party along with about 30 other sponsored children and their parents. I will balloon model (shock) and face paint.
