pics from past few weeks
walking through the Leogane market on Saturday, the busiest day. bargaining was a complete fail with Sedlin
the food section of the market. almost got lost a few times
saw this sign for a local cinema. they only play jet li movies... haitians apparently love chinese action movies and this also explains why when Haitians see any Asian people they scream out "hiyaaa! kungfu man!"
the cinema
a cockfighting ring. the cruel sport is apparently very big in Haiti used as a means for gambling, and also diversion from life's difficulties
walking through the seemingly endless sugarcane fields to city outskirts communities
a 3 yr old girl very very interested in our cameras. She also spoke extremely slow creole and always repeated herself like 5 times making it actually possible for me understand
we stopped by an orphanage one day where all the kids were dressed in soccer outfits playing one huge game. well actually half the time they were seeing how many kids they could fit in the trashcan goals
this adorable 2 yr old orphan, Israel, ran up to me and wouldn't let go
voodoo temple we walked by. they invited us to come back for a ceremony next week
haha, i like the scruff. tell me how the ceremony goes...
