Haiti-10/14/15

Today was all about the work.... to be honest it was welcomed! We have had such an emotional roller coaster the past few days it was a breath of fresh air to just do something that didn't require much thought.

We went  back to the Lighthouse today to complete some projects they needed done. It was all painting! This has never been a strong suit of mine, just ask James. But I was able to actually be helpful, despite my lack of skill.

The Lighthouse has a pretty amazing second story patio, with an amazing view. Underneath that patio is a covered patio that leads to the house's front door. Due to age, tropical weather, and dozens of young soccer players the covered patio needed to be re-painted. So that's what we did. I have to admit it looks pretty good now.

 After that was painted I somehow ended up on a small team who was tasked with painting the back storage room off the outdoor kitchen. The staff at the house wanted it painted white so they could see better in there. The lights did not work in that room and we could not figure out how to get them to work. So in we went, into a dark room full of spiders! Oh.... and it was so hot! But thanks to the moral support of others and James sarcasm we finished and it honestly looks really good now... not scary at all!

At the end of this day we were covered in paint.... like completely covered, head to toe! So, shower, dinner, bed was the agenda for the evening.

James did make friends with the guard dog today! Anyone surprised?
