Humidity in Haiti and other places

Ricky and I got back to Port-au-Prince on Monday and it's been quite hectic ever since. School started on Tuesday. Fortunately for me, not all my classes have started yet, so I've been spending time between classes preparing. It was great to come back and see our friends and get back "home." Even though we have two places we call home, this, for now, is where I can lay down "in my own bed."

Richard is still in Pennsylvania. He took Grace to the airport yesterday for semester abroad. And the week started out with us moving Joy into her room at Eastern University. Before that we were glad to have all five of us together for two whole weeks!

It's about 93 and humid here. Since it feels so humid, I wanted to know just how humid this is. I found out that the maximum humidity I've experience here this week was 84%. I read online that it's like you poured water on a dry sponge and it has filled up to 84% of it's capacity to hold water. That's a lot of humidity. BUT I found out that Florida and Texas are the states that have the highest humidity in the US. I looked up a couple of towns in Florida and saw that in Tallahassee they have 93% humidity with a temp of 83! And Boston has 89% humidity! So it's really not so bad here. Come visit!

  1. Hi Carol! You must be moving now that school has started. I just got back to Pa yesterday. Schools also started Monday in the Dominican Republic. I had been there for the past 3 weeks and almost made it to the Pedernales. I fell in love again with the island of my birth and youth. I met a lot of Haitian in the Dominican Republic and played as well as watched a Haitian soccer tournament there. My time there was a great experience. My number is still 215-528-0023. Could Rich call me or vice-versa? It would be nice to even meet him, too. School for us does not start until Sept. Let me know. My email address is the same rcazeau@netzero.net. Have a great school year!
