Mass Grave

    Not far from Port au Prince is the site of the "Mass Grave" where an uncountable amount of people
are buried after the 7.0 earthquake on January 12th 2010.  After over 200,000 people in Haiti perished
-thousands upon thousands of the dead were brought here.
     Our driver and guide Wilson explains this to us also mentioning that- at the time of the quake both he and his father were in town.  Wilson was in a classroom in school- he left the class room to find a drink of water- he watched as the building collapsed in front of him.  Nearly every person in the school died- but Wilson was sparred!   Unfortunately his father did not survive where his bank building also collapsed.
     A ways up the mountain multiple crosses can be seen with inspirational messages on them-overlooking the desolate land and the grave site.
