so surreal

hard to believe that earlier this morning we were in haiti sleeping in tents in 90% humidity (by my estimations) and working in 94+ degrees F weather… so surreal… we’ve been chilling in the Atlanta airport waiting for our respective flights… it’s good to be back in less humid weather haha, with toilet seat covers and automatic soap and water dispensers :P but it’s definitely a stark contrast to what we had over there and then what we had was also a huge disparity to what the Haitians have… pardon my grammar, wake up call was at 3am after an especially early workday start… quite exhausted haha

cant wait to shower and fall into my own bed :) at least i know what i need to do to prepare for Haiti next year… get some long sleeved wicking shirts so i don’t destroy my skin and somehow shield my face during the workday… duct tape and super glue and stuff sacks and carabiner clips came in really handy… also need to bring disposable contacts if i can :T

man, i love habitat and the type of people it draws :)

i can’t believe i’m starting my trek to Haiti tomorrow! i’m so excited, but now that it’s one day away, i’m nervous too haha… i don’t really know what to expect. it’s going to be unforgettable, that’s for sure :)

i hope that Tia gets better while I’m gone :( poor doggie is old (~15 years or so?) and I miss her. Haven’t seen her since June.
