Haiti: arrival

After way too many hours of flying, we arrived in Port Au Prince shortly after Laura Bush.  We went through customs and then met up with Julie, Alejandro, and Keith.  We collected our 30 bags and headed out the terminal to meet up with Chris and Kelli.

All of us girls jumped in with Kelli and drove up to the BHM compound with a quick stop at an overlook.  It was so good to talk with Kelli again.  The entire way up to the mission... Shannon, Alysa, and Risse were all "look at that cow", etc. ... by the time we got to the mission... Alysa had taken 300 pictures.

Once at BHM, we unloaded the bags and went up to Mountain Maid for lunch.  After lunch, Patti took the team on a tour while Lizzy and I started unpacking bags and setting up reservations for home visits with Elsa.  Once doing that we realized that school was out of sessions for the next week so we had to revamp the schedule.

By the time we had a group meeting and dinner.  When dinner was finished, everyone had a glazed over exhausted look... Everyone went to bed!
