After Church we went to Wahoo Bay a resort in Haiti. Haiti is a beautiful country. The people are beautiful and the country is beautiful. It was a lot of fun to relax with our team and to rest. I had mixed feelings because I really wanted to see the water and go swimming, but seeing a resort that blasted American music with people drinking in the water, spending money on food left and right was difficult amongst all the poverty. Literally, 4 minutes away children were starving and there was this resort! The good thing though was that it did provide jobs for Haitian people. I talked with one young man and he said he loves working at Wahoo Bay because he gets to live there and he loves it. So there are a lot of positives I guess. I just had a sinking feeling that this felt wrong. I did swim and eventually, had a blast but it was weird.

Can you see the mold? We did not eat the bread....
My chicken BBQ chicken dinner, so good!
Sean's dinner: Creole BBQ chicken.
This juice tasted so good, like watermelon.
Weird plant/palm tree with berries.
Love all of the Haitian artwork.
