Today was the parting of the ways. Five left the Ortlip Center this morning bound for La Gonave on the Breezy Sea. None of the five are planning Internet connectivity so we're not likely to have regular updates.
Three of us headed to the guest house where we'll be staying in Leogane. The route took us first to the airport to claim the forgotten bag then to rendezvous with a taxi driver who would take the suitcase to Ortlip so it could get to its owner on the next channel crossing. The next stop was at MSC to purchase the lumber we needed for half of the trusses; the particular store we chose did not carry lumber. Hungry stomachs took us to a pizza and burger place. Another rendezvous delivered parcels to Carl & Maya. Finally at the MSC in Tabarre we loaded the Canter and headed through Port-au-Prince to Leogane.
We arrived at the Family Health Ministries guesthouse just in time for dinner. It was very good to finally be able to stand up and walk around.
Tomorrow we're off to Croix Hilaire to unload the lumber and get to work.
