Port au Prince and Home

Monday Tim and Karl worked with the water system operators while Rick, Darenda and Brian reviewed some additional potential sites. I wrote a blog entry. Once everyone was back together, we all climbed into the Kia for the return trip to Port au Prince. The drive was uneventful, if hot, except that none of us had saved anything to eat and there was no place to stop for lunch. We were pretty ravenous by the time we got to Eucalyptus House.

We started the evening visiting with another Episcopalian group from DC who have an eduction ministry near where we have been working. But we were then stunned to hear of the bombings in Boston. What a sad day - we all pray for those injured and the families of the dead.

As we leave this place, we know we must return. The water from at least one of the sites we surveyed tested positive for contamination.

We leave here for the airport about 11:15. We'll be back in the 'Burgh in a little more than 12 hours from then.
