....Today our team took a trip to the royal palace and the Citadelle. After our hour drive in the back of a truck bed, we were bombarded with venders, climbed numerous stairs, and faced my biggest fear..heights. Everyone got to take a horse ride to the top of the 3,000 foot mountain. While on the top of the fortress, I was forced to lay on my belly and extend my head over to look straight down. I even have a picture to prove it! This place is very fascinating because it is so old and all the original cannons and building structures remain. After the Citadelle, we experienced the crowded market that was shoulder toshoulder with hundreds of people the whole time.
I am very happy how VBS went and had a wonderful time bonding with the kids. Yesterday, I was sad to leave the kids behind that I had become so close with in such a short time. I am hoping that I will see some of my favorites (kids that followed me around all week that always wanted to hold my hand or be held) at church tomorrow morning.
I am looking forward to coming home and seeing the people I have missed so much even though I will miss Haiti as soon as we get home. And yes mom and grandma, I have been eating and wearing sunscreen. Hello to my whole family and all my friends especially Mom, Grandma and Grandpa, Olivia, and Gentry. :)
