So as I am sitting here, I am thinking of all the things I saw and didn't see but are there. On Sunday we drove through the outskirts of Port Au Prince. This is where they displaced some people in tents on the mountainside. Just below these tents is vacant land, littered with garbage and rubble. But what you don't see are the mass graves that are there, not only those who died in the Earthquake, but those from governments long past. There is some talk of building housing here, but who would ever do so? The Haitian people many times spend more on burying their dead than they do on their own homes. How would they ever live on the bodies of others...
