Sunday evening, we went to a restaurant called Mondy's and had goat, fried plantains, spicy cole slaw, and beet & potato salad. Very yummy! While we were eating, Haiti Idol came on the tv in the restaurant. Kelly is now in the top 4! We got to see him sing. He sang a love song mostly in English, which is quite unusual, but he had the audience on their feet, waving to the music and cherring loudly. The judges all thought he did a fine job, but one of them didn't seem overly impressed with Kelly's affect on the audience.
As we drove through town, we went by the place where we did a rice distribution in February. It was a tent city of just over 200 families. It is now gone which means that those families now have homes and this area is now a field for soccer or ball. It is encouraging to see rebuilding taking place. We also noticed as we arrived and drove through Port au Prince, that there is not as much rubble lying around and there are some new buildings (stores, barber shops, and some new roads complete with signs). Very encouraging.
