Rive!

 Sorry for the delay in updating.  We were just able to get on the wireless.

After a long crazy journey,( I think this trip may have actually just upped the ante on my "worst ever" travel story)  we finally made it to Haiti this morning.
We were met at the airport by a crew of our hosts, and after hunting down all of our bags, we drove After a long and exhausting travel experience, we did not go out today.  The kids got their rooms, and then got to shower or nap (but most of them chose to play games with the children who live at the guesthouse and with some of the boys who came over from the boys' home, which is close by.)   A couple of the kids worked on going through some of the donations we had brought. There were some card games, and a little soccer.  A few students took naps or showered.  

We had dinner and then a brief orientation with our hosts.  After reflections, the kids were turned loose to journal and then can sleep shower, play (quietly), or whatever. 
Some are laying out clothes for the boys home for tomorrow.  Some are journaling, or getting ready for bed.  Josie and I are trying to work on things we need to get done, on a somewhat limited wireless connection.  

We will continue to update, but -- the wireless will be spotty.  So, just a reminder that if we are quiet, it does not mean that something is wrong.  

Here are a couple of video clips from "The Journey:"
