Hey everyone! I am in P-au-P for a few days so I thought I would write you all a little e-mail. I hope you are doing great and not suffering from the winter blahs too much. It’s 80 degrees and sunny here, just like it always is. Don’t be jealous though. The weather gets pretty boring here after a while. It’s nothing like the change of seasons in the northern states.

Well, I have some pretty exciting news for you all. I, believe it or not, recently became engaged to Ernante. It looks like my shopping days are over. I’m finally going to buy. Okay, that’s a really bad analogy. Anyway, we are planning to get married in late July. I haven’t told anyone here in Haiti except for the PC country director, so we can get the paperwork done, and Ernante’s family. To my great surprise they weren’t very surprised. I guess they kind of expected me to marry Ernante. I think I may be getting too predictable.

Other than that everything is going pretty well. I completed my Jeremie to Camperrin bike trip in 6.5 hours two weeks ago. Not too bad, but I fell a few times due to the huge, slippery rocks. I have also become pretty skinny lately – I couldn’t figure out why. It turns out that I have 3 kinds of worms including tapeworm. On top of that I have a nice little head cold. I think it was a stress related cold since I had a ton of responsibilities last week and a grant presentation. The grant was accepted. I will be building two spring cappings in Latiboliere with the Scout group.

I’m assembling and repairing bikes again this week. Hopefully, this will be my last extended trip to P-au-P to do this. Take care and think warm. Later.
