Thursday 2-20-14
My name Theresa and this is my first time in Haiti and following is a story about “Crazy Americans.”

Our journey began today with a trip to Hinche and the group decided to visit the Cathedral.    Regrettably the gate to the Cathedral was locked.  Disappointed we walked around Hinche and passing by the Cathedral on our return to the Rectory, we noticed the Cathedral’s gate was unlocked and open.  We seized the opportunity and entered.   The interior was simple but beautiful.  After taking pictures and spending a few moments in prayer, we exited.  To our surprise the gate was locked and in walking the perimeter found no other exit or anyone to assist us.  Finally, after knocking on a door someone answered and seemed perturbed to find us in our predicament but he did unlock the back gate and freed us.  He probably thought “those crazy Americans”.  I guess no trip should be without at least one misadventure.

Note: Gates were originally locked.
