Here in PAP

Been in Port-au-Prince now since Tuesday. The internet at l'Habitation Hatt has been, at best, bad. I'm at the Visa Lodge right now where the internet works. I have two stories: one on a beach resort called Wahoo Bay and another on a Lavalas demonstration demanding the former president Aristide's return. The two stories represent a dichotomous Haiti. One of an island paradise and the other of a country still in the midst of political turmoil. I will post two photos from the story and the accompanying text soon.

An update on the situation in PAP: The situation here is very 'calm'. I'm blown away. In June, it was very tense. Since the beginning of September, everything has been calm I am told. Even in Cite Soleil, the situation is much better. We'll have to wait and see how long the calm will stay.
