Monday, July 19th. Day 3 - HAITI

Today our group of 15 split into 3 smaller groups. Some went on a long drive to try to retrieve a truckfull of building supplies that had been held up in customs for a long time.. some stayed at Carl and Mayas house to help them paint, and the rest of us went to a house built for one of the drivers for the missionaries, to paint. Joe, Tamara, Hannah, Brandon, Alicia, James and I all went, and aside from the heat had a great time! We then had to ride the "Tap-tap" back to the compound. The tap-tap is the local form of public transportation consisting of a small pick-up with a cover over the bed, benches, and as many people that are willing to squish in together. There were 19 in the one that we rode, but it was not uncommon to see people hanging off the sides and sitting on the roof. At one time we saw live goats hung by their legs off the side of one! After eating dinner, having devotional, chit-chatting and goofing around we went to bed . please click the following link for pics and video
