We began today on a journey up the mountain to Kenscoff. I had been to Kenscoff before to the Baptist Mission Station there and while it is a journey up a long winding road it is worth the trip. On the way up the mountain we passed the home of the former President Preval and the former home of the notorious Papa Doc Duvalier.
We went to the lookout over the city and while it was overcast at first the sun came out and it got very hot. The pressure by the craft salesmen there is very high. I only bought two stone frogs but some other bought lots of things.
So far I have not spent much money and have not got a lot in my suitcase returning to KC.
When we reached Kenscoff we drove right by the Baptist Mission and went on for about another 45 minutesfurther up the mountain and we reached an orphanage down probrbly the roughest road I have been on in my life. There were thirty five children in the orphanage and they seemed to be one of best cared for group of children we have seen. They had ample beds, clean facilities and the children looked well fed and healthy. Then it was time to return back to the guest house. Long day riding on rough road.
