In addition to hurricanes, the past few weeks, Port au Prince has been plagued by demonstrations against the new budget put forward by the government which would raise taxes considerably. In fact our staff today were concerned about getting through Port au Prince and out to the regions where our household survey's are being conducted. Basically, of the 4 regions where we work in Haiti, 3 of them require travel through the capital. Kind of a bottleneck, but hopefully they get through. If its not one thing its another I guess. Or as they say here,

'deye mon, gen mon'.

'beyond the mountains, more mountains'.
