Bob and Jan Fairchild are safe in Gros Morne

We left for Lexington airport at 11:15 am Sunday arriving Miami via Dallas Fort Worth at 7:40 pm. We went to dinner and spent the night with Marie and Lenny Anglin, the Haitian American Nurse and Jamaican Doctor we met in the departure lounge in PaP on my first trip with you.
We left Miami at 9:40 am this morning arriving PaP at 11 am. We met up with Tiden and other volunteers, stopped at Kaliko to put down our deposit and made it to Kay Jezi Mari without any problems.
All our luggage arrived safely including 28 one quart canning jars, enough for 4 batches of mango nectar. Also three mini tent ceiling fans, two solar security lights, and the squeezo and stainless steel boiling water canner. (In retrospect we could probably use the big pots that came with the solar cookers which may be enamelware boiling water canners. I'll check them out at Garcen tomorrow.)
The stove building workshop schedule may be a bit overambitious. They're talking about starting Wednesday, which gives me one day to find stuff, get it to Fon Imbo, and get everything ready. I suppose we could start with a day of design theory, but that may be a stretch and won't really give me any extra time. I think I'll talk to Pat about starting Thursday.
I'll keep you updated.
Thanks,
Bob
