Our first road was blocked by a tree down so we had to turn around and find a detour...we have very good drivers here that seem to know where all these crooked roads will come out. But the closer we got to the airport, the heavier traffic. My friend Cyril has been telling me he has escorted Cliff Robinson around with Jean Louis something the Haitian actor on Hero's - sorry I don't watch the show so can never remember his name- I told Cryil he was Uncle Cliffy to Portland Trailblazer fans so yesterday 100's of kids were calling him Tonton Cliffy. Since we were going to the airport for same purpose, I got to talk with him first on the phone and then since we were stuck in traffic he came running up to me in the van. He said he would be back so hopefully we can have some time together that I can show him Healing Hands for Haiti organization. He wants to find something meaningful for his Uncle Cliffy Foundation.
I picked up 7 members of team Canada and Cyril sent 7 to Jacmel. I will send some of these to Fond des Blanc and St. Bonaface hospital tomorrow morning.
We heard the US was making food drops at different sites in the city, and the cause of the traffic jams but that did not explain the craziness at the airport. I'm getting pretty good at navigating and getting in...you have to just go and can not be timid in any of the process. There are red caps and others wanting to help sometimes 3 guys fighting and trying to carry one bag.
Very funny to watch!
Last night we ran out of power about 10 pm so this will be a short story tonight and I will turn in.
