If you're willing to bump along in the backseat of a car for a couple of hours, there's no shortage of things to do in and around port-au-prince. So far I've been to the beach for the day (the old club med) and hiking in the mountains through some of the little villages nearby. The expat "scene" is also quite extensive so tucked away next to a tent city, or beside somewhat of a slum area, there are also lots of fine dining restaurants to be found. There's something about it that feels very wrong, yet I must say that after a day in the field, it's nice to have the option of having a cold beer in a beautiful garden restaurant.
We are two occupational therapists from Montreal who will be spending 3 months each working for Handicap International in Haïti. We are excited to share our experience with you through our blog.
