Monday, January 24 -- Up at 4 am, on the bus by 5 to go to Port au Prince. The 2 bour drive was filled with a combination of breathtaking beauty of mountains beyond mountains on the one hand -- and hair-raising adventure as our driver barreled through people and vehicle-strewn streets and narrow alleys at speeds that would be criminal back home. George loved it! Said "I want to come back and live in this place!! I love the way they drive!!" We managed not to kill anyone -- as far as we know. Morning traffic in Port au Prince was heavy -- stop and go at times, but we arrived at the airport with time to spare, making our way through the gauntlet of hawkers and baggage helpers outside into the terminal, immigration, and an on-time departure at 10 am.
The difficult part now is to decide what we do with all we have seen and experienced.
