Today has been . . . well, honestly? It's been draining. I'm a bit sick and so waking up at 7 am to get on the road until 17:30 is a bit tiring. But, the cook here is one to die for and dinner was fabulous.
Tomorrow I wake up even earliler (and will continue to do so for the rest of my sojourn) to leave for my second destination--Mickey and Liz (a mother/daughter duo who work a clinic). And, if we're going to be "for real"? I am so scared. My living in Taj-Ma-Haiti (a joke here because this guest house has AC occasionally and only loses power sometimes) has spoiled me and now I'm to go live in a much more Haitian third-world part of town in a small "house" (a hut-like thing) in the city of Carrefou. But, if we're being "for real" again? I'm kinda excited. Although I have loved visiting/working at the children's home and will miss the kids, this is what I came here for. I came for a third-world experience. And the work Mickey and Liz are doing is literally saving the lives of malnourished children so how cool is it that I get to be a part of that? Answer: amazing.
Alright, this is the end of this post--not sure when I'll get to post next but I'll do my best to stay on top of it. I've posted a random photo of the streets and if you can believe it or not, this street seems pretty clean to me at this point.
Hope all is well with you dear reader,
xx Leah
