It's good to be back!!

I've arrived safely in Haiti. It was an adventure as usual. We didn't end up taking any of the flights we originally booked. First the NY airport was basically closed so we were rerouted through DC to FL. We were promised a free shuttle from FL to Miami but when we arrived we really had to do some talking to convince them to give us the free shuttle. We tried about 10 different hotels but all were booked solid. So we spent some time in the Miami airport trying to sleep but were unsuccessful. When we arrived at the Air France counter the next morning we were informed that we didn't have reservations. We went back to American Airlines, not hoping for much but we were put on their next flight out. So we arrived in Haiti at about 12 noon on Saturday afternoon.

Sunday morning we drove out to Cabaret for church, it was nice to see some of the church members from our church who relocated to the church there.

It has been really interesting driving around. Some parts of PAP look the same as before, the markets are open, some shops are open and people are walking everywhere. If you don't look too closely you can almost forget what happened. But there are tent cities everywhere and there are still many buildings that have not been cleaned up.

Tomorrow the work begins. I'll try to update when possible. There is no internet at my place (no electricity either) and the internet at Randy's is SLOW!!! I'm at another friend's house right now who has fast internet so I'm taking advantage.
