It's hard to believe that I've finished my time in Haiti. The computer that I'm on now seems amazingly fast, and it is considering the time I've spent staring at blank screens in cyber cafes over the last several weeks. I've learned a lot about patience waiting more than 5 minutes for a page to load, or 20 minutes to pull up Gmail. Needless to say I was essentially incommunicado. No one could reach me, and I could only make infrequent contact to let my parents and boyfriend know I was still alive.
Anyway, my summer was challenging and rich, and I still plan on posting about it. Writing with the hindsight I have now means my observations are not totally fresh, but I have certainly not come to terms with my experiences. I am only now starting to put together the rush of emotional and physical stress that accompanied my days in Leogone and Jacmel. More later.
