Don and Dale were busy this morning working on the wall of the girl’s shower house..
While I was out taking pictures today, I decided to visit the native ladies’ kitchen.
On this picture you can see their kitchen sink.. and beyond that is the cook shack.
Inside the shack was Ronie, our cook! She is a very friendly and loveable person. Since I do not talk Creole fluently and she talks very little English, we have a hard time communicating! (But I am learning!) At least a smile means the same thing in any language… so we exchange smiles and say a few words!
I want to show you a picture of our grapefruit tree… the grapefruit from this tree makes delicious juice!
We have a hanger of bananas that is almost ready to be picked… and another one hanging on our porch with some ripe bananas on it! These fresh “home grown” bananas are delicious!!
Today was my turn to cook lunch and I decided to do hotdogs and baked beans. Since I cannot run to the grocery store for rolls..I made homemade ones! “First time for everything”!
On Wednesday of this week was a holiday for Haitians. It was flag day. People were celebrating with loud music etc. For a better view of the road and the activity outside the walls of our compound, I crawled up on the “bomb truck” to take some pictures.
This razor wire fence is the top of our wall and beyond that, sad to say, you can see the ditch full of yucky water and trash. This is a very common sight for this part of Haiti… (Much, much worse some places.)
I will close this post with a pretty picture! I will choose to focus on the beauty of Haiti for it has much beauty. I love living here… even though I miss some of the comforts of home…
Good night and God Bless!
