Jill and I visited Croix-des-Bouquets this weekend. Just 11 miles away from Port-au-prince; equivalent to an hour's drive on a bumpy road. The bumpy ride was worth the country experience; it was so peaceful and green out there. Jeff and Jean Graham were our hosts; Jean is the 4th Grade teacher at Quisqueya. They cooked for us all weekend and made us feel "at home". I most enjoyed our walk through the sugar cane plantations, my visit to the girl's orphanage and holding a newborn baby who'd recently lost her mother. She was beautiful! I had tears in my eyes just thinking about her growing up without a mum.
