Haiti Remix

Finally back in Haiti! Great to be here again.

Arrived into Port au Prince from Miami yesterday morning very early. I was impressed with the amount of work done around the airport area. It was much cleaner, somewhat organized, and easier to find GVN than last time. I also didnt have my bag snipeshowed this time around.

We met up with GVN and then I went to a different NGO in Port au Prince which i will most likely be staying with when I leave Jacmel. This group is called GrassRoots United. They have a great compound full of like minded people. Although advised not to be in the capital for elections, I hope the be there to witness them in late November.

The drive to Jacmel took roughly 5 hours because of rockslides in the mountains on the way up. Driving through Port au Prince made it clear that a lot of work has been done since i was last here in May. The streets are cleaner, the rubble has been moved for the most part. Sad to say but it just presents the poverty better. All the tents are still here.

Also, If you havent picked up Waka Flocka Flame's "Flockavelli", you really need to get on that shit.
