Shopping Spree in Port au Prince

We are feeling fine today, so we went to Port au Prince with a few folks. We left at 4 a.m., which is unusual for a shopping trip, but we've done many unusual things in the last month! We took one fellow from BC to the airport as he had to go home today, three patients to a clinic so they could get some tests done and that left Eldon (from BC), Yvon our driver and Marc Eddy (our interpreter) and Angela (the medical team leader). After dropping off the ones who needed to be dropped off, we went to a very nice hotel called Visa Lodge for coffee, toast and fruit then we were off to Eko Depot (which is like Home Depot). This is one place that Wade has really wanted to get to to buy some items for here with money that some of you have given us for this purpose. So we bought a fan, new mop, pail, and some small misc items. We made a few other stops, picked up the patients, and made our way back. It was a twelve hour day, but a great day. Very interesting and fun.
