I wasn't kidding when I said that there was a 24 hour a day traffic jam in PAP. IT 645am and we are stuck in traffic.
We left 15 min ago for Gonaives and it only took us 5 minutes to stop in traffic.
If you want to know what it smells like, try walking behind an old school bus with no muffler and breathe deep, then do it again.
I will try to post a video later, but only if you promise to watch it with the sound all the way up while you are breathing that bus exhaust.

Matthew 19:26 NIV Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Thank you for the bus Paula!
