The day-to-day...

When we say we "run a guest," its difficult to describe what the day-to-day looks like.


What did I do this morning?

Well...

Started with not water, hence no shower...took the back roads, windows down, dust abounds, went to an orphanage, got a tour, picked up a dossier, picked up our translator who was waiting alongside the road, exchanged dollars for gourdes, took dossier to IBESR, bought a filter for our generator, stopped at a hardware store to get a piece to fix our water pump and toilet, ate a cliff bar...keep going...horn in the truck is broken so yelled at a water truck passing us at warp speed on the road, pulled over and realized he had just been at our house filling the water tank and we sat alongside the road and paid him, sweat a lot, went and bought laundry soap, spaghetti and bouillon cubes at a roadside depot, confusion over what we owed the man, came home, still no water and now I really need a shower. But, we are still smiling!
