I know everyone was worried, but I made it through my 16 hours in Port Au Prince without any trouble. We spent all of our time at our hotel which was full of other foreigners. During the drive to and from the airport I was able to see a fair amount of earthquake damage. There were huge slabs of broken concrete all over. We also passed several "tent cities" where people who lost their homes in the earthquake are living. The tents cities are huge and each tent is literally inches from its neighbor. Our hotel was neat and clean, but unfortunately next to a very loud night club. That was a bit annoying, but it is good to know that with everything these people have gone through they still like to drink and dance with their friends. Now off to Jeremie!
