This weekend we were off for Easter break and used the time to see more of Haiti with our close friends Ben and Lexi from NC and two new friends Bryan and Sharon. We went to Port Salut, Haiti on the South Coast, which is a tranquil little costal town untouched by the quake. Port Salut is actually the birthplace of former exiled president of Haiti Jean-Bertrand Aristide. These were our first glimpses of life in Haiti outside of building rubble and camps containing displaced people. It felt like a different country altogether - how curious it was to see life in Haiti - life not effected by the disaster; not directly effected anyway. It was refreshing. The people were singing, dancing, going about their normal daily chores and celebrating Easter. Back to work this week.
