Neat. I've been to Leogane. The guys I work with have started a vo-tech type
of school there if I'm not mistaken.
Haiti is a lot different from when you were there, but sadly the bad things
you remember are still in evidence. The Macoutes are "gone", replaced by
FRAPH, also "disbanded" Nowadays there are lots of kidnap-for-ransom events,
probably organized by out-of-work henchmen. A deacon I met ended up getting
abducted and killed a few days before my last trip.
Yes, we'll be at CC's on Thursday, and we'd be glad to have you. Just don't
bring the entire group, as I've already told someone from your neck of the
words that you'll DoS the coffeeshop if you do.
Actually, wait... I forgot that we're having a restaurant outing this month
(we do this in August and December). We'll be at Taqueria Corona on the
corner of Severn and West Esplanade. DoS rules still apply... advance notice
needed.
