Here are a few pictures from the day in Port au Prince. They are in completely random order, because blogging in foreign lands is difficult :) All of these are taken from the bus, so don't judge them for struggling!

The rubble clogging the streets of Port au Prince.

The Presidential Palace, directly across from Mission Rescate.

Our first view of the Presidential Palace as we turned the corner toward the mission.




One of the many tent cities around the city.

The line waiting to cross the border into the D.R.

The border. See that fence on the right with the barbed wire on the top? That is the official border between Haiti and the D.R. Secure, eh?

The insanity of the border on market day. This means that markets are set up on both sides of the border and people are free to walk/run across to buy whatever they need.

Me and Emmanuel at around 6am on our way to Haiti. We are only moderately struggling after no sleep. Emmanuel is the co-director of the Haitian Care Team with Mission Emanuel.
