We made it!

We made it to Haiti safe and sound!  After getting through customs, collecting our bags and running into a snag with our bags of medicine donations, we finally got into our tap-tap which sort of resembles a pattywagon and made our way to the United Methodist Guesthouse in Petion-ville.  The road and traffic were, um...interesting!  The roads aren't good and 2 lanes are actually 4 lanes!  Lots of honking horns!  There was alot to see and take in along the way.

Unloading the tap-tap.

The guesthouse has nice accomodations and we had a delicious dinner.  We had orientation with John, who is a long term VIM volunteer and has been here since the spring.  He will go home at the end of November.  We learned alot from him about how the project works, what we can expect and he answered lots of questions for us.  John wasn't sure about internet access in LaTremblay (electricity can be iffy here in Petion-ville) so we may not be blogging, but that just means we'll have lots to say when we return here next Sunday!  We will be well looked after on site so don't worry!

We'll have devotions tonight and then up early and on our way to LaTremblay!  We're excited about what lies ahead!
