Well, we head home on Saturday. These last few days are filled with getting things cleaned up, organized and packed up. Marilyn is also lending a hand in the business office to help organized for their year-end and to help Geanne with payroll.
We had never been to the beach in the morning, so yesterday we took a stroll to spend some time at the ocean after breakfast. It was very relaxing as we were the only people there.
This morning, we took the van for a drive around town to check a couple of areas that Wade had been to before (on his first trip) and wanted to revisit. Usually, we would do walking tours of town, so it is different driving around. They have the biggest speed bumps we have ever seen.
We know we are having chicken for supper tonight because we witnessed Lucianna butchering one over the garbage can after breakfast! We can hardly wait!!
Tomorrow is the staff Christmas party. It starts with us all going to the beach in the morning and then meeting back here for a meal, program and a gift exchange. So far, there a very few signs of it being Christmas season. The church does not celebrate advent and there are no decorations. Once in a while we will hear the school children sing 'Jingle Bells'. On Christmas day, there will be a special church service and those who have the means will have a special meal, but that the is extent that it is celebrated. December 31 is a far bigger celebration for the Haitians. They throw big parties and have special church services and feasts.
