Zanmi Haiti: Beach Day at Labadee
http://zanmihaiti.blogspot.com/2008/06/beach-day-at-labadee.html
A Journal of a Medical Student's Travel to Haiti. Beach Day at Labadee. Saturday, June 21, 2008. Today we all went to the beach at Labadee. I'm told that Labadee is the only beach in Haiti that cruise ships dock. One really cool thing I saw was called Dragon's Breath. It's at the tip of the peninsula where there are rock formations, and wind blows through some holes in the rocks and sounds like a dragon breathing. I'll post a video when I get a chance.

Sunday, December 14, 2008. I've been in the creating mood. (This mood could easily be mistaken as the 'I don't want to study for finals' mood, oops! I realize I will get to see my little buddy again on the first day of our trip! Top left corner). She was big on teaching me my basic Haitian words (banana, plantain, house, chair, machette.you know, the everyday words.). Here's a look at how different this trip will be.
