A fencing we will go

        Today.........Today was one of the most labor intensive days I had since I got here. The team, their from a town north of Toronto,  Newmarket,( I've been working with since Monday) They have adopted me into their group and made me feel apart of what they stand for. I just want stop and say thank you for making my trip so much more memorable, I will never forget you. Back to Adventures of Fencing (not swords) I don't think no one was ready for this kind of adventure, it was the toughest but most rewarding and in some, character building.
      We went to Raymond,  it's about 20 min from Jacmel, to put up about 800 ft of fence. Now on a regular fence no problem, pull up with your pickup, drop off the material and go to work and your done. Now, as I am figuring out in haiti we do things different here, instead of of backing the pickup to the job site, we decided to carry ALL materials by hand 200 yds through a field and up a lava rock hill. When half the team hauled thefence the other half took machetes and cut down half the trees in the forest to clear a path for the fence line.
       When clearing the path, someone found a wasp nest in a tree, so we started a fire underneath the tree to get the wasps out of the nest, everyone sat around the bonfire in 90 drgree heat and 150% humidity, thinking it was cool burning up a wasp nest.
        We got done tying up fencing, everyone was hot and sweating no energy.  Finally lunch, at Isaiah house and the second half of the day, I went with Jeff up to a mountain village to talk to a pastor of this church of 45 people. This christian church was right across the dirt road from the voodoo temple.  It took an hour to get up to this village on a washboard road,. including just for fun, ruts! We interviewed the pastor and took some pictures and went back down the mountain to Jacmel.
