Packing to leave Haiti today. The last couple of days have been really busy with lots of travel over the streets of Port Au Prince. I was able to experience some different things this time around. We got out in the countryside a little up the coast to a beach. We traveled up to Kenscoff beyond the Baptist mission to an orphanage. I thought the road did not go very far beyond the mission but we traveled 30 minutes beyond the orphanage then traveled another 30 minutes on a side road. Beautiful country cooler weather green valleys with lots of terraced farming.
Saw parts of the city I have never seen before ad also was able to walk down the lane outside the compound and buy pop from a vendor.
I realize if i am going to do more I need to learn more of the language. It is my goal to learn French or creole so I can converse better with the people on the street and with Tullis our driver it would be easier.
Not looking forward to leaving but looking to being home
