Aren't you convinced that Haiti is beautiful?! :)


Some of the views from our area...


This is our view of the Caribbean Sea. Sometimes when we have a really clear day, we can see the ocean on both sides of us. :)
Meet Alyssa Jeanette
This is our neighbor's (fence cutter :) ) baby. The parents gave Lyndon the honor of naming her.


One Sunday afternoon some of the young ones hiked over to Yeye's house.
Rose and Yeye posed for this picture there.

Pouring the roof...

 Almost finished with the forming up...
 Of course, no job ought to be accomplished without some fun... :)
 The bucket brigade. They would pass the bucket from on to the next up the ladder to be emptied on the roof.


 See that guy hanging on the rope? That's how they would send the empty buckets down... Pretty neat, eh?! :)
 Here's what it looked like up on the roof...
 Mme Antonio cooking food for all the workers...
 Rose enjoyed hauling water for the concrete. :)
 Here you can see how it's all supported underneath the concrete/forms...
 getting there...
 But it got dark before they were finished... I love these silhouettes... :)
