Being somewhat isolated from the news and our email accounts, we’ve just learned that a hurricane is in our midst. Hurricane Ernesto. There are many predictions for its path: New Orleans? No, Florida? Rain expected as far north as Virginia. It seems to be yoyo-ing between being a tropical storm and a hurricane. Northern Haiti is to be spared. The mountains up here and in Northern Cuba have a large impact on these weather systems. It’s just expected to rain fairly lightly throughout the whole day. Southern Haiti is supposed to get hit hard, unfortunately.

Pete and I are fretting about the drive back over the border. It’s dirt road most of the way with a few unmanageable potholes. How will the tap-tap do? Will we be able to hire a driver instead?
