Our first
day! We spent most of it traveling, so we didn’t get a chance to see much of
Haiti except for when we were coming in for our landing and on our short drive
on our “tap tap” from the airport to the house. As we were landing, I was struck
by how beautiful the city looked from the air. Largely surrounded by mountains,
it was hard to believe there could be so much poverty in such a beautiful
setting. But reality set in after we left the airport and saw villages of tin
shanties, dirt roads covered with litter, and signs of poverty in every
direction we looked. The Haitian people we have met so far are friendly and
accommodating, and we are blessed to be staying in a guesthouse with delicious
food and air conditioned bedrooms...
