Team Rehab Day 9

After a delicious breakfast at SEED, Team Rehab said goodbye to SEED, June, and Berkley before taking one last ride in the Land Cruiser to Port au Prince. Leaving June was bittersweet for us because she has been a great mentor, tour guide,and friend. We all look forward to seeing her again. We also are excited to get back home and share our experiences with everyone. Harold, June's driver, navigated the 5.5 hour drive to the tune of Bob Marley playing the horn for us along the way. We even got to experience Harold directing traffic. It was a beautiful drive and we kept ourselves entertained by taking plenty of pictures and videos. After we checked into the Villa Mamika, we spent the afternoon sitting by the pool relaxing and playing games. We also spent time with 2 American physicians returning from another MTI trip. One of the physicians was Donna's daughter and we were able to exchange stories from our experiences at two different hospitals in Haiti. Donna's daughter also helped us get dinner at our hotel. We enjoyed one last Haitian meal together and then went to bed to get ready to start our journey back to Jacksonville at 6:30 am.
