Going to the airport Wednesday morning- of course we had to leave early because my flight left at 9:15. We left at 4:00 in the morning with a machine load full of people who needed a ride to Port-au-Prince. Partway down the mountain we came across a kamyon tipped over on the road. It wasn't a very narrow or bad part of the road so all we can figure out is they must have been going way too fast and just lost control. Another truck was parked behind the one that was tipped over and the driver was determined he couldn't move his truck at all for us to get by. The guys all got out and thought we maybe could squeeze by if they moved some big rocks. Nothing like paving your own way through... So they heaved around on a couple of rocks then everyone jumped back in and we eased around, slowly but successfully. The four wheel drive doesn't work right now on the machine so I was afraid the guys would have to get back out and push the machine but after spinning a bit on the loose rocks we made it. However that truck decided to flip over at a place where we could squeeze by I don't know but I was glad. We made it to the airport in good time and the flights were uneventful. Craig and Lyndsey and their kids picked me up from the airport. On the way home we met some friends at a Mexican restaurant. It was SO good!
Now... I'm trying to fit back in here... Not fun, at all, but life.
Kind of sad that the Haiti chapter of your life is over for now but we are so happy to have you back! The two kiddos sure are pretty enthused about you too!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
I totally understand your feelings in needing to fit in at home but finding it hard. It will happen but it takes time. You will have memories of Haiti for the rest of your life. God bless you for what you have done and what you will do now that your home again.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best as you find your new role there!
ReplyDeleteHey Ang... Thanks for letting us in on your life in Haiti... We sure enjoyed it :)...and yes... Fitting in again has its challenges ...and sometimes you won't know that you are even being challenged until you are thru it and able to look back ... Wishing you lots of blessings wherever life takes you from here!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That was a mindblowing sight to leave Port-au-Prince with. I just hope that that tipped over truck didn't stomped onto anything. Thankfully, you and your companions have been spared from that. One can only imagine what sort of complications such accidents would bring, with all the actions and consequences that will have to be dealt with. Take care!
