What took merely 20 minutes to the airport the day of departure, took 2 hours the day of arrival. There was so much color in Haiti: colored houses, colored cars, and colored people.

However, as much as I was ready to leave upon arrival, though, I wasn’t ready to leave at the end of the trip, and one month later my heart still yearns to be back in
