En route to Jacmel
Spent the last evening at Kay Damien having movie night with the local family where we were staying! I must say, that staying at a Haitian house,was a different experience! I learned that I can "rough" it - and by roughing it, i mean that it was like going to a camp where you have to go outside in the middle of the night to go to the washroom... having said that, Kay Damien was a very lovely house and had running water and a toilet that flushed - more than most Haitians... so my "roughing it" really wasn't roughing it! It was hot and even hotter under the mosquito nets... every night it rained and rained hard! We were lucky to have a roof over our heads - again - this is more than many Haitians have. The best part... watching the sunrise while the roosters crowed and all the other animals were saying good morning.
This morning - we awoke to the sounds of drums as one kid said "lwa" (vodoo ceremony). We stopped by the orphanage on the way down the hill to say goodbye! Enrico managed to keep it together "fairly" well... he promised to study hard at school and show off his intelligence when I come back next year! (there were still crocodile tears though).
Currently sitting at Cayes airport awaiting our flight to Jacmel. Looking forward to being able to unpack and "organize" myself a little! Looking forward to seeing everyone in Jacmel! Bon bagay!
