I really miss my gym from San Antonio (Women’s Super Fitness)..  Not only the convenience, but the friends I made and the challenges presented to me (You know who you are).  This month in Haiti has presented a whole new kind of physical challenges; but as always, I not only wanted try, but to succeed!  Here are some of the reasons I believe Haitians don’t go to gyms like we do in the States                 


                    

men throwing cement blocks off a pick up as if they were nothing


             


unloading 100 lb sacks of concrete!


                                          


            that the Haitians carry on their heads!


            


                            

shoveling gravel at MOHI…pick up, toss into barrels,


then carry barrels to wheel up a hill, to dump in a trench J

 



shoveling gravel from one side of the building to a pile on the other side.

 


                            


like it ain’t no thang’…notice the footwear of the first man-


he’s not the only one in sandals on the worksite.
