| Extra large sweet potato |
My visit to Delice went well. Delayed in July and August, it was good to finally visit in person with the workers, Agape Kids and do some work in the gardens and house.

The timing was extra good since the Agape kids were unexpectedly relocated to Port au Prince on Saturday.
I had planned to drive them to the church at their school for their monthly visit but at least I met and prayed with them the day they left, also giving a devotional book and candy.

| Hail damage to Malay Apple tree leaves |
The trees and gardens varied in health, some things growing well and some things doing poorly.
The July hail didn't help. Some things looked untouched and other plants showed damaged leaves or fruit.

| Coffee fruiting after a year in a sheltered location |
Haiti is very unstable and the fuel shortage is getting worse.
So I decided I would leave the less urgent work undone and change my ticket to return early in the week instead of Friday.

| Coffee not doing well |
When transport unions and factories called for a country-wide lockdown/protest Monday, my taxi driver called recommending we go to the airport area early Sunday.
I agreed and stayed at a hotel Sunday night. Travel was uneventful although the mountain road was so eroded it took 3 hours instead of the usual 2-2.5 to go the 16 miles.
