Arrived safely

A bit of a delay in leaving JFK but made in to PAP, through customs with all bags accounted for to meet transportation waiting there. I met Sila, the Swiss physio here for 3 months as well as Kim, a Canadian physio I will team teach with for the next 3 weeks. We had a beautifully uneventful ride to HAS and settled in to Kay 7 last night. Typical Haitian caucauphony starts around 4am so I was able to get up and do some swimming before morning report at the hospital at 7. Kim had started teaching normal development last week so we built on that today punctuated by a few patients to observe in the hAS clinic. No rain today, not too hot though I forget how strong the sun is. Continue to wish id spent more time practicing Kreyol but oh well. Sila has been taking lessons here so I may join in. Thanks formall your prayers. Love to all!
