This month I hiked to Coup A David (which is creole for "Mount of David"). I went with Stacey and Lily, Rod (a guy helping with work on the seminary), Don Hulmes (a close friend from our church in Jersey), and me!
It was kind of a last minute decision, but I had tons of fun! I was so excited to have the chance to take care of myself: I got up before my parents, made my bed, made my own breakfast, and pack for hiking!













The view on the ride to Coup A David is amazing!



The people in the nearby villages have started working on the roads and it is looking great so far!


This is an actual village house.
It is made out of different types of plants weaved together...

(Don, Lily, and Rod all had a good time playing follow the leader!)


Me!
This is one of my absolute favorite flowers ever!

In some spots the path was very narrow...
On the other side of this picture it is literally almost straight down.
You have to hold onto shrubs and bushes trying not to slip down the ground which is crumbling out from under your feet!


Last time we went to Coup A David we built a little bridge out of rocks... It is still there!
Unfortunately, Lily slipped down a little hill while looking at baby pigs...

She was crying till I told her it made her look tough and cool, then she couldn't wait to get home and show her Dad!





















 
 Part of the reason I enjoy Haiti so much is because there is a lot of mountains. In the United States there is a lot of city, Haiti is very mountainous and tropical...!


Thanks for reading my blog!


See you next time!

  2. The scenery is so pretty. You are certainly getting a lot of new experiences.That flower that you liked was certainly beautiful. It almost looked like it was part orchid. Glad you got to visit with Leigha and all of the rest of the folks from West Park. Keep on enjoying all the new things. Your blog was great. Love, Mary Margaret
