Leaving Jacmel

We woke up this morning to a leisurely breakfast of fresh fruit and pancakes. People flying out today had already packed themselves and their oversized luggage in a too-small SUV for the curvy ride through the mountains back to Port-au-Prince. We followed later. We had too many people in our SUV as well, and I was stuck in the luggage compartment in the back of the Nissan Pathfinder. Me and my mangos were tossed around as we raced up the lush mountain, and down the other side into Port-au-Prince that showed many more signs of deforestation. I wanted to stop and take a picture, but it is really not a good road along which to stop and play tourist. So, all I have are very blurry pictures from the back of the SUV.
