Sushi night

All things are a go for the team coming on Saturday. Gals in the guesthouse are gearing up for the arrival sprucing up the place...
For awhile I think they were a little worried. I had checked the storage area and found all of the clothes for the orphanages had gotten soaked from the rain. We had them out everywhere like a villiage laundry day along the river bank. But then i t started to rain again and we had to hurry and move it all in the house...we had clothes hanging everywhere!!! spread out. Then today Solay- the Sun- came out so they went back out to dry in the sun. Finally this afternoon we were able to pack them all up again.

So last night I went out for Sushi in Haiti. The daughter of the El Rancho Hotel - the one with the casino and bar in the pool and the disco- started wednesday night sushi night. It was really good!!! salmon with mango and cucumber...It was very expensive so I guess it won't be a regular wednesday night date. I met some of Haiti's young adult 'elite' - A documentary film maker working on a project he hopes will make it to Sundance and other film fests internationally. Another club owner and several others that I did not catch their profession- maybe a music promoter. It was interesting to say the least and fun.

Tomorrow is the going away party so we'll be doing the goat thing again...I hope they don't cry too much tonight. I'll have to play my music loudly! But everyone is looking forward to the party but not saying good bye to Mr. Cadet. He has been a major part of Healing Hands for Haiti for 6 years I think. I know I will miss him - he is very supportive and loves his country very much! I anticipate he will make returns and build his frequent flyer miles quickly. He even said he might join team Portland next year.

Well off to collect some sun while it is shining before dinner.
Have a good evening...Go Blazers!!
