Haitian Trip

Day 5

Free time all morning then drove to the mountains.

Visited a small village where Jean's sister Yvrose once taught children. We saw the school house where she taught. We also walked to the "lake" and joined some children for photos.

Then we drove to Bill's beautiful two-level home where he intends to house visitors wishing to help in Haiti. Bill came to Haiti to help with the earthquake and I don't think he has returned to the US since.

We then visited Yvrose's home where she and her husband house and care for about 15 orphan children. This is where I met Vince, the little child I held for some time.

We took an olive branch from a tree on Yvrose's property to be used for the tree-planting ceremony tomorrow. I think the tree we will plant tomorrow also came from here.

We stopped to eat supper at a restaurant before returning to Ben's house. The price was reasonable as it came to about seven dollars US. The food was good but not as good as the food cooked at Ben's house.
