Port-Salut

This weekend we went to Port Salut. It is about as far West and South as you can go in Haiti. I am really glad we were able to see this part of Haiti. The drive was beautiful through thick forests and mountains and coastal villages. 
Because it was a holiday weekend we had a tough time finding a hotel. But, finally found one that had a big room with four beds. It was perfect. Except that it was on the water, literally on the water. Our room was built right on the rock of the seashore. It had these huge windows that did not latch well and the waves were literally beating the side of our room all night. Couple that with no power and a child who is terrified of the dark and 10 people in a room with no A/C and you can see why we only stayed one night!
