Haiti vs. Boston
As the day rewinds in my mind, there are many things I could blog about but the one that keeps coming to mind is driving in PAP! I've been the passenger many times, but this is the first time I've actually been behind the wheel. The chevy blazer that came with the guesthouse is working again (praise God!!!) and Linda/I went on a provisioning run to the store for guests arriving later this week. Gerritt knew I was nervous and encouraged me before heading out by saying "it's just like driving in Boston" and it was ~ thank you Boston for preparing me with your crazy unnamed merging routes! The roads here are really rough so it's slow going, plus navigating other cars/trucks/taptaps/people/dogs/roosters and whatever else may pass in front keeps you on high alert. Tomorrow I'll be going out again with Sofi to buy the fruits & vegetables from our favorite roadside market ladies, so will share some more adventures very soon :).

I am very impressed - I don't mind Boston, but no way I'm tackling PAP.
