Getting Gas

The price of gas here is still around US $8.00 a gallon.  There appear to be somewhat conventional gas stations in Les Cayes.  Although, at this point, I have yet to see the pumps open.  So, gas is sold on the side of the road by various "vendors" who sit in front of their homes with a gallon oil jug filled with gas.  To make the trip from Wozye to Cayes requires approximately ten gallons of gas and we seem to manage to keep the car running- one gallon at a time- as we happen upon these varied vendors.

Life is difficult in the developing world for lots of reasons.  But, the lack of infrastructure or any structure seem to make commerce the hardest.  To get somewhere- you need gas.  But, you must first search up and down the roads and hope that the gas you already have will last you that far.

Corey attempts to travel to Port Salut every two to three days to return e-mails, update the website- work.  This has proven more difficult than we ever imagined as they have the correct equipment but often don't have gas to fuel the server.

It's hard to imagine until you get here how difficult day-to-day tasks become for the Haitian people just to live, let alone succeed.

We are well and can't thank everyone enough for your continuing thoughts, prayers, and support for InKind's goat project.
