Haiti Trip - Day 2 (part 3) Port Au Prince

We left the airport to head to Hope Mission.  Since it was safe for us to go shopping in Port Au Prince, our bus driver drove us through the city so we could see it.

The next three picture are taken from as our bus drives through the capitol.  Just a small view of the damage done by the earth quake

The houses are built on hills & one on top of the other.  The houses on the hills reminded me of living in California & the house built on the hills there, except California had more spaces between their houses.



Or course we had to go see the presidential palace.  We were able to stop & get out to get a closer look up to the fence

I have an awesome zoom lens.

 This is me in front of the palace.  This was a close as we could get.

Haitian Military/Police.  They were at the palace watching people go by.  I took this picture from the bus.

These next two pictures were taken while we were at the palace.  The buildings are across the street from the palace.  I couldn't believe someone would sleep on top of a roof of a building with the chance of aftershocks or another earthquake.  Also how sturdy is that building after the earthquake?

This is one the people living in these tents.  What nationality? Who knows.
