Driving in Haiti... It should be a video game.

| The road began okay... |
Not to sound like a broken record...but...it was so hot last night!
Thankfully my roommate did not snore!
Auntie fixed us a wonderful breakfast with eggs and lots of avocado. We were on the road by 7:30am... We have heard so many differing reports about how long it will take us to get to Pignon. Some have said a couple of hours, others have said more. One has raved of how great the road is, while others have told us it is the worst road in Haiti. After 4.5 hours on the road, going maybe 10mph, I can confidently conclude it takes more than four hours to drive from Cap Haitien to Pignon on what is no doubt the worst road north of Port-Au-Prince.

| Survey in Las Caballas |
Upon arrival in Pignon, we met with Dr. Theodore Guy, the past Rotary District Governor and administrator of the hospital in town. While the survey was perfectly conducted, we were saddened later when we tested the water and realized our system capabilities would be unable to treat the water. There is nothing worse than forming a partnership only to learn we cannot provide clean water.
Back on the road, our next stop was Hinche at a Little Brothers of St. Therese monastery. This was a site of one of the earliest LWW systems. The brothers prepared for us a lovely meal, which we happily accepted after being on the road all day. Following a detour to Las Caballas for a survey at an Episcopal Church, the downpour of rain started and the gridlock traffic began. We finally made it to Walls International Guest House Port-Au-Prince by 9:00pm. Though our bodies feel as though we have been shaken senselessly all day, we are
thankful to be at our destination.
