Grass Roots United

We are in Port Au Prince!
Will write more about the gorgeously insane chaos that is the port au prince airport later
Started today at 5:45 am at the Grass Roots Base aka GRUB
This place is awesome, the staff is irreverent, funny, smart and on point.
There is a good mixture of Haitians and an International vibe, Americans,, French, Aussie and English........
They have a 60 ft dome! And a 20 ft. A composting outhouse and an earth ship
they are currently building a great container house with two containers that will be connected with a roof between.
The food is rather......... well never mind about that. The cook is a sweetheart. I am the only vegetarian staying here.
There is literally a hole in the cinder block wall in the back of the compound where you can buy beer, soda and cold water. It's sort of a mystery to me, I haven't bought anything from the hole yet. Kara came back with a 7-up last night, smiling saying there is a little girl on the other side.
Today we are taking a trip over to customs to suss it out.
Then I am going to the first orphanage to do a site survey. Kara is cutting rebar in the back with our awesome angle grinder. oh yea.

on personal note, I took my second malaria pill this morning on an empty stomach. Not a good idea. I almost lost my cookies. I hate when that happens. :)

I feel GREAT and totally excited and happy to be here I dont think I will ever come back to Brooklyn.

I'll try to write more this evening

peace out
