John and I are settling in here and finding our niche. It's a stretching experience living far from home and family, but we have found that the work it does in us is worth the stretch! John ventured out on a shopping run into Cap Haitien today while I stayed here to help our friend Chante with some of her daily projects. Of course, I'm always on the lookout for birds and wildlife, so I will post a photo of a rhino beetle the neighbors found yesterday. I've added two new birds to my bird Life List, building my total species closer to 400. (What? Some of you don't care?!) The many babies here are mostly healthy and doing well these days. If you ever want to feel wanted, just walk into the baby house and watch the arms stretch up to you!
While here, John and I both hope to learn a bit of Creole, so we are joining the neighbors a few days a week for an hour lesson. It's another stretch for 50-something year olds!
Yes, those are sliced hot dogs in that pasta, and some of the strongest onions one will ever eat! Actually, once you get over the "unusualness" of spaghetti for breakfast you find thast it's quite good.
