I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a while but I had some time off from the work in Haiti and I've been traveling all around. I flew home to Indiana for Mother's Day to surprise my Mom along with my sister who drove up from Birmingham, AL. I then flew back to DC for a couple of days before flying out to Baton Rouge, LA to help out with the oil spill. I am currently in Grand Isle, LA where some of the oil have already washed ashore. The worst of which is on Elmer's Island. Big globs of oil have arrived and they are deep enough that when you step in it, it comes up to my ankle. We are coordianting the clean-up efforts here on the island but we have our work cut out for us. I'll try and get pictures when I can but most of the beaches are closed to the public becuase of toxicity and other hazards that might be encountered.
Depuis prochaine fois!

Counting down...that is until I'm off again!
After working here for just over a month, everybody here has gotten a chance to get to know one another. I've tried to be helpful and "one of the guys" by telling them about my experience in college with welding or my hunting capabilities with archery or rifle shooting from being at camp. They also heard about my study abroad trip to London and all of my many friends back in DC and all over the world. The point of all this is that they now call me "The Lara Croft of Shaw". Turns out they think I'm a tough broad of sort and kinda a super hero! I love it! (If you feel so inclined to call me this as well, I won't mind : )
Still counting down until I get a break. I feel a little bit like I've had my life on pause, really unable to move along, while the rest of the world rushed by. I've missed my Dad's horse racing in Gulf Stream in Miami and I'll miss it again on May 6th at Churchill Downs in Louisville. My mom and grandmother spent last weekend with my sister... Missed that too. So I am so thankful to have a little reprieve soon, even though it will be brief, to see some familiar faces. First thing on my list to do when I get back is to go to Wendy's and then for dinner get some mexican food. It's the little things that I miss the most!
It's super hot here today. The rain at night makes for a muggy day. They said yesterday that it was 100 degrees here with a heat index of 105. Geez.... Let the countdown begin until I'm back on US soil!
How I feel today:
Mwen anvi vonmi & Tout ko mwen cho... Lol
