Haiti

I am sure you have all heard about the tragic earthquake in Haiti. Above is a picture of Labadee, Haiti where we stopped on our cruise in 2008. It is a beautiful place with wonderful snorkeling. It was Anna's favorite place.

I tried to explain to her that we weren't seeing the much of the real Haiti, that the place had much poverty. This beach we were at was a private area owned by the cruise line. But that is so hard for her to understand, being so young. The only locals we saw were in the market area and they were very agressive with their selling.

Hopefully, organizations will be able to mobilize quickly and get help to the island.
