Friends of Ft. Liberté

Bonswa (good evening),

This is Trish Putnam. We had an uneventful trip into Puerto Plata yesterday, except that the airport food in San Juan was bad to say the least. Laurie and Morgan met us as expected and their flight also went well. Great dinner and decent rooms at the Fun Royal.  

We left the “resort” at 5:00 a.m. and had a bit of a wait at the border. Everyone had some time to walk around “in groups”. Several people found a nice grocery store and purchased diet cola to supply them for the week.  

We arrived at Fort Libertè with a flat tire on the bus. Everyone hustled to unload the bus so that the guide and driver could return home.  

After a lunch of a baked potato and chicken legs with delicious pineapple juice, the afternoon was spent meeting sponsored children, playing with a hacky sack, organizing construction materials, and the clinic. We are resting now and will be attending church this evening.

It has been a good day. We are all tired and looking forward to a good nights sleep.

Thanks to all of you who support us. I know you are praying for us and we appreciate it. 

Trish
