Day 1

August 24
''I now see the real thing.

I now see the true poverty.

I now experience the real heat of Haiti.''

''They still have smiles.

They still have a hope;

We can tell them about the good news''

We left this morning at 6:30am from Home.
In Montréal we waited for a couple of hours.
During the flight I had this terrible ear pain!
It eventually got better...
after like a couple of days(-:

When we arrived at the airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti
and I took my first step out if the plane...
oh! It was like stepping in an oven!

  

The heat was just so intense.

I could not think living in this extreme heat, even for this short amount of time.

  (I don't regret it a bit now!)

In the airport they all wanted to carry and help us with our luggages.

We needed to refuse, just for the sake of security.

 

The drive was fabulous and so diferent from my hometown!

Streets were just filled with people, and childrens playing everywhere.

''Tap-tap'' (bus taxi) full of passengers. Donkeys trying to make their way across.

So this was my first day right in the middle of Port-au-Prince:-)

 

Cheers!
