Tuesday in the DR.

Tuesday was such a fantastic day.
We went to a remote Haitian refugee village, where most of the people spoke Creole.

The kids were fantastic. Plentiful and ready to hang out!

Pat got handed a "pantless" small child.
We laughed because she didn't know if it was a boy or girl until the mom took the baby back.
It was a boy btw. LOL!

The boys were infatuated with my tattoos. They probably don't see many tattoos in the DR, especially on super light skin. Lol, my skin has never seen the light of day! ^_^

I worked in optical.  Our "office" we outside under a porch and makeshift shade tarp.

We were amazed how many older folk had perfect vision!
Sadly, if they had bad vision they were usually beyond help with cataracts.

They had to point and tell us which direction the "E" was going.

I love how they always use bright colors to paint the houses.

The kids singing at evening worship. Beautiful hearts.
