Getting close to the end

I've been wrapping up my time here, writing papers, seeing the last of the roses, gorging on French food and tonight having a barbecue with my workmates (I'm teaching them to make s'mores!)

I'm excited for next week, visiting Dublin then going home for 4 days before setting off for Haiti. The reading list for the class I'm taking while over there looks awesome:

Dupuy, Alex. 2007. The Prophet and Power: Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the International community, and Haiti.
