Days 2 and 3
March 10, 2010 by admin
Greetings from the Cap-Haitien and from Grof Morne.
After arriving safely, we were given a grand tour of Noe Tere’s newest school of 1000 students meeting some of the children and teachers. We LOVED Evan, the PE teacher.
We then visited the local arts market searching for treasures for our upcoming March Sale. The VHP team was incredible at their honed negotiating skills with Janeen at the helm and Fiona at the tail and everybody in between was great.
We came home and packed for our hike to Chermaite. We then got a tour of the best and the worst of Cap Haitien. Most of us slept on the roof at Terenoe’s house.
Today, we braved the four hour journey up and down the broken road to Grof Morne. and another hour and half ride to the foot of the mountain with another hour trek to the village.
Today marks our third day of no electricity, plumbing and I-pod music with Bruce.
We want everyone to know we are all well, happy and excited to get to the village.
Check back on Sunday night for our next update.
