Early Saturday morning (not as early as planned, but early nonetheless), Lesley, Julianna, Anne, Cadeau and myself left Port-au-Prince, headed for Jacmel. We managed to make it to Leogone without incident but shortly after things started to go wrong. The clutch stopped working and there we were stuck on the side of the road with a car that didn't move at all! So much for our plans for Jacmel. We had no choice but to wait for Lesley's husband to finish work and grab a ride back to Port-au-Prince with him. We called the hotel and cancelled our rooms. Just as quickly our plans were back on, we were able to borrow a car and before we knew it we were back on the road, praise the Lord for generous friends!
The rest of the trip was fairly uneventful and we were able to secure 2 more rooms at the hotel (one of our rooms was already taken in the 15 minutes it took us to find another vehicle). We settled into our rooms and after a quick lunch we were off to the beach.

Overall, we had a great weekend. Enjoying the sun, air conditioned rooms, satellite television, delicious food and great company. A great getaway and one of the last things I wanted to do before leaving Haiti!
