This was the first trip to the capital for all of our kiddos, including Cabila. The girls slept a little bit but the boys took it all in.
We saw cactus as tall as sky-scrapers, donkeys carrying loads for their owners, cattle in the middle of the road, men thrashing wheat, rice field workers, trees that looked like they were straight out of Madagascar, and mountains that were so massive the girls called them 'cloud-reachers'. While I wish I could've photographed it all, we do have some great mental pictures to last a lifetime.
Last week we met a guy in Cap Haitien that has done Missions in Haiti for the last 38 years and he just happens to live in PAP. ;) Thankfully, he gave us great info on safe areas to stay and eat (a God-thing, no doubt) so we are doing fine.
The hotel where we are staying is not only clean but beautiful and the staff are very nice! Plus we actually get to brush our teeth with the water from the bathroom faucets and the rooms have A/C so we are eating that up!!!
Cabila rode in an elevator for the first time ever yesterday and he wanted to do it again & again! It's so exciting to witness his first-time experiences... so many that we often take for granted.
John (and the boys) got to watch Monday night football last night...
we had Domino's pizza for dinner....
...and Kylie lost her 8th tooth!
We hope all is going well in your corner of the world!
God bless you and thanks for keeping up with news from here.
