June - September 2009

It has been a while since I posted to the blog. I am sorry, but when I tried to post in June, I spent 10 hours trying to upload the photos for a post and the sessions kept timing out. I finally gave up! Then I was traveling and visiting all summer.
It was a crazy summer. We hosted several more teams after the veterinary team, prepared the teacher contracts for the coming school year and got arrangements made for the students going to the national exams. Then at the end of June I left Haiti for the US and spent 10 weeks traveling from coast to coast to coast (yes, three coasts)!
I drove to Pennsylvania and then flew to the west coast where I visited family and friends in the Seattle, Portland, Sacramento and Los Angeles areas for 2 weeks.

I spent a couple more days in Pennsylvania before driving to Portland, Maine to take the ferry to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island where I spent a week and a half visiting with the veterinarians who have been to HAFF.

I went back to Pennsylvania for a few final days before heading south. I stopped to see an old high school friend in northern Kentucky, spent time with Greg and Barb in Georgia, and visited with the church in Tallahassee, Florida that sent a team this year. I wound up my time in the US visiting with people in the Fort Myers, Naples and Sebastian Florida areas.
