During the week I wake up at 6:30 (I’ll sleep in until 8 or so on the weekends, but it is really hard to sleep any later secondary to lots of sun and lots of noise in the form of goats, roosters, tap-taps and music). We eat breakfast with the sisters at 7 and then walk the 15 minutes down the road to the clinic. Here we pass the afternoon, after which we walk back to Hopital Cardinal Leger for dine (lunch, which they have at noon but keep warm for us until we get back from work, usually around 2 or so). Naps, the work I should be doing more regularly, and reading occupy my time until dinner with the nuns at 6 PM. Following dinner everyone helps in the clean-up process (washing/drying dishes and putting everything away); I’ll then use the internet or head out on a moto taxi to Hopital St. Croix to spend some time with Jackie’s friends there… if we don’t make it back before 10, I am forced to take my cold shower in the oh-so-luminous beam of my headlamp (balanced on the towel rack)... not an easy task, I assure you.

ReplyDeletePS I understood your title!! Yippee!!!
You WOULD have a favorite cow.
ReplyDeleteSorry I know this is my second comment but I just miss yelling at you... and you in general.
You have a better view than I do, but I do have an albino deer and all you have is that confused looking cow!!!
ReplyDeleteJen... totally wish you were here to translate; a month later and I am still hopeless... oh and thanks for the laugh (though there are no fat cows here for me to compare myself to =) )
ReplyDeleteDash... I'd take my confused looking cow and the baby goats, all grazing on garbage of course, over an albino deer (which is kind of creepy, really...)
Really do enjoy your writings.
ReplyDeleteI know it has been hard, but you certainly
have had some great life experiences.
See you soon.
Love & God Bless,
