Good Morning from Haiti! Today we are in Labadee which sits on the north coast of Haiti. The island was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 on his first voyage to the new world. Our excursion was a cultural tour of Haiti - we boarded a small boat that took us over to paradise cove were locals have recreated their way of life.
