On this rainy Saturday afternoon, I decided to blog something from our Haiti trip. This is just a quick video snippet \u2013 not much here \u2013 but plenty more where this one came from. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Like so many other things in Haiti, when you get in a vehicle it is obvious that you are putting your life in God\u2019s hands. No real speed limits; hardly any traffic signs, road signs; the only real law seems to be \u201chonk before you hit someone or something, or it is your fault\u201d. <\/p>\n
Driving in Haiti, you cram 2-3 times as many people in the vehicles as the vehicle was intended to hold; no seat belts of course; no emissions regulations either \u2013 so you\u2019re breathing thick black air poisonous air, your hair and skin is covered in dust and powdery black substances (soot?) when you get to your destination.<\/p>\n
The roads are very adventurous though; huge potholes, stream beds, etc. <\/p>\n

So\u2026 why could we only fit 25 people in a 14 seat van? See below for the answer!<\/p>\n
