I made it!

I was a little too nervous to sleep last night...maybe got an hour.  Took the 5 am shuttle from the hotel to the Ft. Lauderdale airport.  Took the 7 am flight to Port au Prince.  Had to wait around the airport for the 11 am flight and another couple of missionaries.  Then we went and ran errands in Port au Prince...went to a school and picked up another passenger, went to drop off some journals...nobody home...went to the supermarket.

I stayed in the truck and watched the luggage...there were also armed guards in the parking lot!

After the grocery stop, we started on the 3 1/2 hour trip to Gonaives.  It was dark for the last hour of the trip and we nearly ran over a donkey in the road!  Also, not many people care about their tail lights not working...got to keep your eyes peeled when driving at night here!

When we got back, the power was out so I couldn't let everyone know that I had made it safe until after dinner...rice, beans, goat, fried plantain, pickling.  Pickling looks like cole slaw but it has a kick...lots of hot peppers or something...made my eyes water and my nose run but man was it good.

I brought my electric griddle down here, so tomorrow morning we are making french toast 8 slices at a time.  There are at least 20 people expecting breakfast!  Then it is off to church at Pastor Gonata's.

Feels good to be back here.
