after a long day of travel we arrived in haiti. We are still on the mainland, up for breakfast. It was pretty uneventful. When we got some amazing pictures on the airplane coming into ft lauderdale and finally into haiti. Kelseys reaction "oh my gosh look at that" Sam (Mundts daughter) was on her first flight since the age of 10 so she was a little nervous. We had the great opportunity to meet my dad and karen in Florida and have lunch with them since we had a three hour layover there.
When we got to haiti in the airport, it went smooth, met Freddy (an extremely friendly face).
We came out of the airport and it was many people asking us to take our luggage (so they could earn a buck) but Freddy already had people set up to help us. One man was extremely upset because he was not chosen to be our helper and make some money, lots of yelling in creole.
We all hopped in the van and the real adventure began. Apparently a factory had just gotten out and there were even more people on the roads than normal. The people that we saw were amazing, the traffic was insane (people everywhere) no rules on the roads , I guess they have three lane roads here no speed limits, all road rage. Kelsey was pretty quiet until she saw a lady walking "did you see that lady is carrying a chicken in a bag!!!" It was not like a processed chicken (head hanging out of a bag).
We got to Ouanga bay is where we stayed last night. Kelsey and I were in one room with two beds. Of course she wanted to sleep with me lol. The shower was pretty questionable- no shower curtain, no hot water.
We had a decent meal last night here and this morning we had fresh bananas fresh grapefruit juice and eggs. Breakfast was great!!!
Glad we are going to la gonave today, there are some protests scheduled for tomorrow and Tuesday because the price of gas. The price is set by the government and they want to add tax and the people are angry about it.
We are not sure of the Internet after Tuesday, no one brought a laptop so we aren't sure if we will have anything to hook up the Internet drive to,
Love to all, thanks for reading
