Pictures ARE worth a thousand words!

Fall trip to Haiti - 

On the way to Port-au-Prince, flying MFI (Missionary Flights International).


Our gear rode between us and the cockpit!


First glimpses of Haiti


.. and Port-au-Prince.


 The Breezy Sea, for the 1 1/2 hour crossing from the mainland to the island of La Gonave



I don't look real comfy!  Actually, they hitched a plank bench along the side for me to sit on which worked just fine.  You can see La Gonave out across the water.

It wasn't long before the ole Navy man was behind the wheel.  Larry drove us most of the way across the channel, loving every minute of it!

These sailboats constructed by the men on La Gonave are used for fishing and for ferrying people across the channel.  They were beautiful sight as we came in to the wharf at Anse-a-Galets.



Public ferries we would take across on two occasion during our stay this fall.



Coming in to dock at the Wesleyan wharf 

Always plenty of muscle around, PTL!

The story of our trip to La Ganove, in a fraction of the pictures we took!  
But, it gives you an idea of the beauty of God's creation in this needy land. 
Next, getting settled in.
