The morning was spent packing, sorting and organizing our supplies for Haiti. Around 11:30am our friend and translator JohnBern Thomas came to the Luna residents packed and ready to go.
JohnBern became our good friend during our first trip to Haiti. While he is originally from Haiti, he moved to the Dominican Republic after the earthquake to play more jazz music as he is a drummer. We have enjoyed learning more about the Haitian culture from him and appreciate his friendship.
The drive was just as we remembered it, but this time there were more stops. Between Santiago and Santo Domingo there is a nursery where we purchased mango trees, lemon trees, orange bushes, torny bushes, and a tree for shade. We had to fit it in the van with the rest of our stuff and five people.
The group didn’t make it in time to the border to cross, so we stayed in a small hotel near the border named Hotel Paradise and it was anything but.
