So despite the very long trip that included a few layovers and delayed flights we are happy to say we've arrived to our much anticipated destination. Although we were very sleep deprived, we were anxiously awaiting our adventure. As soon as we got off the plane, we were greeted by a local band who immediately uplifted our mood. Getting to our hotel was quite the adventure - the rules of the road are very different from America - if they even exist at all.. There are no lanes, speed limit, or street signs. Stopping in the middle of the road for a freshly cut coconut was not out of the ordinary, in fact it was quite refreshing in this humid 95 degree weather. Our first day consisted of getting settled in our hotel and orienting at the hospital in Port au Prince. We are looking forward to getting a great night of sleep and then we will be off to a clinic in Jacmel tomorrow. :)
