| Church of Christ building at Foret des Pins |
Today we visited Foret des Pins. We went to pick up an older woman who fell off her mule about 7 months ago and broke her leg. She never went to a doctor or got medical treatment. So now it is giving her problems. Dr. Bonnell has a team coming this week with orthopedic surgeons along. We'll take gran to see them and see if she needs surgery.
It was so cold up in the mountains where Foret de Pins is located. There are so many big pines in the area (thus the name) and it reminded me of south Georgia where I was born, not so long ago in the grand scheme of things. It was market day and it looked like a scene from some place other than Haiti - everyone had on heavy winter coats or layered winter clothing, and some even with snow boots! You could see your breath when you spoke. I know where to send the winter clothing donations now!
