To la Frontiera, Republica Dominicana Haiti Border Trip

The CCM jsut finished training seven Haitian missionaries, fo I went along to drive them to the border with Haiti. There we delivered them into the hands of the Mission President, Pres. Bien Aime.  The trip over was interesting, and we had plenty of snacks and bag lunches.

The road takes us by Lake Enriqillo and Lake Saumatre right near the border. These Lakes are both flooding, hurting the poor farmers nearby. Enriquillo is a salt water lake, Lake Saumatre is fresh water. The iguanas are used to being fed, they are scary up close, biggest are probably 4-5 feet with their tail. 

In the parking lot ready to head home. The Haitian Elders were very excited to get back home and
to go to work.
