First Day in Haiti

Since Wendi has had some issues getting a good and consistent internet connection, I, her humble, yet somewhat dashing husband shall take temporary duty of being a surrogate poster.  The flight from Miami to Haiti was mostly uneventful - a good way to start.  After arriving in Port au Prince, half of the group, including Wendi, and none of their luggage flew on this plane to Cap-Hatian.

The rest of the group flew in early the next morning on another plane and all the luggage came in on yet a third plane.  

Once aboard the plane, Wendi quickly seized control and actually just about convinced the pilot to let her sit up in the cockpit with him.  Unfortunately, there was already a real co-pilot who didn't particularly want to sit in the back.  True story.

So she took a seat with the rest of the group in coach.

They arrived at their hotel - pretty nice place with a great view...

and ate in this restaurant.  Note the the feline activity on the floor.  Those are the mouse traps and they're not on the menu.  However, goat is on the menu.

But Wendi opted to pass on the goat and ordered fish instead.  A pretty safe bet...

Until she saw it on the plate.  I think she didn't want to eat it because someone had already taken the best part.  The eyeballs.  (look close)

The fist day was capped off with a beautiful sunset...

A beautiful country with beautiful people living in horrible poverty.
