Monday

Up early this morning, a quick breakfast, and time to load everything up on the truck for our very last trip on the streets of Cap Haitien.

We stood in line for probably a half hour as they hand-searched every single bag. No air conditioning, and hardly any air moving at all. Checked in at the counter and checked our luggage, then waited another hour at the "gate" - there is a total of one gate at the Haitian airport! At least there were fans, but the electricity went out twice during our time in there. Before boarding the plane, our carryon bags were hand-searched a second time, and our passports were checked a total of three times. We had a little time to freshen up, and let Aidan swim for a bit, then we met one of Bob's internet friends at Anthony's Coal-Fired Pizza. Well, after a little snag, that is - we went to the wrong location! When we realized what happened, we jumped in the car to go to where he was. I suggested we call him, so that he didn't try to come to us, and we have the same thing happen. It was a good thing I did, because that's exactly what he was doing! We got about three blocks down the road by the time we reached him, so we turned around and went back. I know the staff of the restaurant was laughing at us crazy Ohioans! We did have a nice visit with Christian, though, and the food was good.

When we got back to the motel, the three of us swam in the pool, which was warm enough to be bathwater, and Bob caught some alone-time in the room. Goodnight!
