We're here. We're fine. A long travel day. But from what we hear today's 30 minute drive to the airport at 6am may be about our average start time and by far the shortest easiest drive the whole trip!
Oh Ric Wyatt! There are also a whole bunch of lanes for immigration! They have conveyer belts now! No more piles to climb! It's like a real airport now. Of course, we sat there watching the same four bags go around and around for a while before our last one came off. But no problem.
A View From the Hill
Most of the pictures we (I) took on the road from the airport came out blurry as we whizzed and bounced by, except this one. We got at least got a couple pictures from the balcony of where we are staying. We'll get some better ones tomorrow.
Mapping Our Week
Because we'll cross at least one mountain each day in different directions several times first going through the maze of trucks, bikes, and streams of humanity known as PauP, we thought it would be great to show everyone as much of Haiti as we see. Plus it helps to convey the life that Andy and Jutta live here, traveling all over creating and supporting Self Help Groups (SHGs).
So go looking for a map of Haiti, preferably one that shows topography and has lots of city dots on it. Many of the spots we'll go are smaller places up in the hills.
Find Port au Prince. We are 109 Rue Armand Holy, it's part way up the mountain in the southern end. This is where Andy and Jutta live.
Tomorrow we go to a very rural clinic for malnourished children called Real Hope for Haiti. We leave at 6:30 or so and go about 2 hours to Cazale. The sea is in a reverse C shape with PaP in the center. Cazale is due north of Cabarat on the northern side of the C.
If there is power (electricity is on and we're still on) we'll have Internet later at night and will try to connect somehow to share a few pictures and prayer requests and then point you to the next days travels.
