Boat Trip

We all decided that it was time for a day trip somewhere where none of us had been before - not even Marc and Lisa.  So we found someone who could take us on a boat trip to the big island off the coast of mainland Haiti.  We drove to Meregoane at 5:30 a.m. where we boarded a  'Pirates of the Caribbean' style boat for what was an 8 hour ride (round trip) to a village on the island.  We had our lunch of peanut butter and jam sandwiches, boiled eggs and mangos in the church/school of the village, and then were taken to a beach where we had a swim before the boat picked us up to bring us back.  We arrived back to Haiti Arise at 8:30 p.m.  Quite an adventure!
