Day 7

Today was our last full day in Haiti, and it was our have fun and relax a little day! 

The scenery on our two-hour drive to the beach was so beautiful. There is such a contrast between the south side of the island and the north. The north side is mostly farmland, whereas the south end of the bay is only towns and hugely populated areas. We rode right next to the mountains, open fields, and little towns along the way.  It was a very enjoyable ride!

When we got to the beach, we were in awe. The water was so clear, and there were exotic fish swimming around.  It was so beautiful.  We were swimming in the Caribbean!! We ate lunch at the resort and most of us ordered hamburgers. It was good to have American food, even if it was a little burned!

Some of the group decided to go snorkeling after lunch. They were taken out in a little dingy and the group was dropped off in the middle of a jelly fish field!  It was an interesting experience to say the least as they all managed to get back into the boat without much damage and then headed to a new location. The second spot was a lot better and they enjoyed their time out very much!  It will definitely be a story they will tell about for a long time!

After loading back up into the bus, we headed the two hours back to the compound. Most of us were sunburned and tired, but all in all, it was a day we will always remember and also a great way to end a week serving our Lord!
