Down to business

30 some odd hours later, we arrive at LaRochelle at night. With a good night sleep and bath behiond us we are hitting day 1. We are told we'll be with some 2nd year kids today. I believe they have just completed their first harvest and that it went better than imagined. I don't have time to articulate the country side and what was seen from the drive in, but its very pretty. In some respects it reminds me of Colardo or Montana. Produce and food seem abundant, as much was being sold on the street. Group returnees say things look much improved from 2 years ago...good rains I gather... Still the little huts we see remind me that there are still those in need. Woke up to the 9th inning of the Gamecocks going down... first time in over 2years I've had to deal with that bad news. Sun is trying to break through... the dawn of a new day.
