I have a Ti Tonton in at the moment - a tourist of over 70 years old, and
he's staying at St. Joseph's guesthouse on Delmas 91. Well in all that heavy
rain of Friday nite I got a phone call at 9pm saying 'Jacqui its Albert and
I'm lost'!!!! He had missed his turning on 91 and carried on walking - he
said he likes walking - that's for sure.  I talked to some Haitian people
who had helped him get a phone to phone me and they said he was actually at
Delmas 16!!! So in the dark and the rain I went down to get him, and he was
perfectly safe and sound. People had been really nice and helpful to him -
they had opened up the bank (!) so he could use the phone and people kept an
eye on him until I got there.

Its nice to report good news. I never had any doubts about the helpfullness
of the people here, but this is nice to be able to prove it!!
