Over the last couple days we have been inspecting churches and schools in different villages. Most of the older concrete structures were severly damaged, while wooden structures or newer concrete structures with better construction were not as badly damaged, if at all. Today we met with a local contractor and engineer to learn about their building practices and what their opinion about some of the buildings we both inspected. They are treating us like kings where we are staying. They are serving us three large meals each day. Some of the common dishes are fried plantains, rice and beens, chicken or goat and potato soup. Last night we watched Hotel Rawanda with some of the Hatians here on a projector one of the other engineers brought down. What was really neat is that one of the songs during the credits was by Wyclef Jean (a famous Haitian rapper). The scenery is amazing. The many mountains around create some great views. I tried to upload some pictures but the internet is too slow. Hopefully I'll be able to in Port-au-Prince.
