Port au Prince Haiti II

Returning to Port Au Prince

After leaving the boat in Montrouis, we took route via automobile for Port au Prince, where we are at the moment at the Letendre’s home. We have a few holiday gatherings that we will be attending, and should be back onboard by later this week.

Montrouis is approximately a one hour drive,, if there is no traffic in Port au Prince! Which is almost all the time in the Port au Prince, traffic that is! The route is from paved with tons of potholes to dirt road,, and you have to keep a close eye on the oncoming traffic, locals walk along the road, and trucks and cars with no lights on (or working).

It’s very hard to be away from home and the ones we love during the holidays, but we want everyone to know that you are in our hearts and our thoughts.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and happy New Year filled with good health, prosperity, fair wind and following seas!..


Cheers,
Annie & Eric
