12 Days

12 Days ...

I leave Haiti to head back to the states in 12 days.  It seems a bit unreal.  While, there have been tons of frustrations this summer, I still have many memories I won't forget.  I've experienced things that you just can't experience in a first world and I've met people that I wouldn't meet in Knoxville, Tennessee. 

I love Haiti.  I love the calm and stillness of the small villages, but I also love the crazy-ness of Port-au-Prince.  I love the huge mountains that I have got to see everyday and the crystal blue Carribean I've got to spend some time in a couple times.

I remember when my countdown to come to Haiti was at 12 days.  I was getting so super pumped and ready to spend my summer in my second home country.  I'm leaving super pumped and excited that I got to spend as much time here, even with all the frustrations.  And even with those frustrations, I can safely say that this is still the place that I want to live after I get my RN!
