Unfortunately, I didn't make it on the plane the first day. Worked out really well though; met a cool Brazilian woman and explored the city with her. She had been there for a couple of days already, so she made things pretty easy for me. Which, after a full day in the airport, was quite a relief.
So glad to have made the flight the next day and have Sam and Brenda pick me up from the train station in Fort Lauderdale. Went out for a couple of beers and then headed to an enormous warehouse run by another organization. It contained more goods to go to Haiti than they could get down there. It's crazy...some of the stuff has been sitting there since it happened.
The next night, Friday, Brenda's roommate and company threw this amazing benefit for us and another org named "Plant it Peace". 5 bands at a really cool venue named Revolution. It went over really well and without a hitch.
Yesterday afternoon, I got to see Scott, an old friend from Peace Corp. Had a beer and caught up. Got to rehash some old Macedonia stories and meet his wife. So great to see him!
Well, a couple more days in Miami and then down to Haiti. Getting antsy.
