Hi everyone!  This is Sophia C and Annika C.
The first leg of our trip to Miami went smoothly.  However, our flight to Port-Au-Prince got delayed for more than an hour because of a tray, which broke.  We arrived to Port-Au-Prince, where it was hot and windy.  When we walked inside, Skylar filled out a form with a red pen and red pens aren't allowed, so we got delayed even more.  Finally, we all got our bags and were safely out of the airport.


We all were met by the Haitian staff and boarded onto the "tap-tap"(a truck with a cage around the back).  There will be three Haitian men that will be with us the whole week.  Valerie, Maxim, and Jonas will be our translators, tap-tap drivers, and body guards.

After arriving at the guest house, our team got settled in and ate dinner, family style.  Tonight's dinner was shepard pie and pepper and onion saute, which was delicious.  We all went around the table and shared our favorite/most memorabe childhood memory and how it has shaped us. Today was a great start to our Haiti adventure.  So far so good!
