Today we went to CONASPEH and had a quick meeting with the board and then we went to lunch at 5 coins. We had a very traditional Hatian meal. I tried to order the fish (pwosson) but they were out so I had fried chicken (very Spicy), beans and rice, cole slaw (the spiciest I have ever had) and fried plantains.  Nine of us ate for less than $10 a piece which was a great and great service right in the heart of Port Au Prince. Some who had been on the trip before said they had the same meal for twice the price and a much fancier place close to the airport.
At CONASPEH they were busy getting things ready for the Congress which begins tomorrow. Lots of preparation and the place looks great.
The last thing we did was head to Comite Artisans for some shopping.
It was a relaxing day we tried to see another orphanage but our mission hosts had to get back by a certain time to pick up a group coming in for the Congress. We were not able to go tp the orphanage at Leogonne because our host missionaries had to be back to meet some people from the Dominican Republic coming in for the congress.
