We almost caught some dinner on the roof the other night. One of the neighbor's rooster got into the yard and the dog really wanted to get him. We were looking forward to eating it because the neighbors roosters usually start to crow around 3am. It managed to get back over the wall.

Pastor Pierre trimmed the trees that had branches hanging over the roof in preparation for the upcoming rainy season. Unfortunately one of the falling branches nicked the corner of the roof edge and we need to now replace a couple of blocks.

These trees will grow back new branches. During the dry season a lot of leaves fall off the trees, sort of like fall.

During rainy season people who build their houses next to ravines sometime run into trouble. These people are living in the side of their house that is still standing. They have lost half their house already to the ravine.

Ravines are also full of garbage. There is no set garbage removal system in Port-au-Prince and ravines are a convenient place for people to throw their garbage in.
