Right now I know Haiti is going through a lot like an epidemic and a natural disaster. It is located in the Caribbean and the people are Haitians. I would ask them why are they having so many problems. I wouldn't think that Haiti would be a typical stop right now because of the problems but other then that I am sure there are parts that are for tourists.
I think "Mountains Beyond Mountains" means problems you face that you have to fix and then you face more problems. There are always problems you have to face but its how you deal with them that is important. I think that it is spiritual because it is a way of thinking about the problems in life. When Kidder says he is "narrating Haiti" I think he means he is telling the story that no one knows about. Haiti is covered with fingerprints cause all of these other countries come in and take over weaker countries. They come in and take over Haiti's resources and sell them to make money for their home country. They take advantage to benefit their country.
The thing that got me the most when I looked at PIH was the pictures. I would make a donation because the pictures are so sad that I want to help in any way I can.
I really like your post. I especially like your mountains beyond mountains definition. Its definetly true.
