Ahhh relaxation!! This saturday was fun day:) Got to sleep in until 8 but awoke to hear a pig having his throat cut which is saturday ritual at the neighbours. Theres something you dont see everyday in Canada. We did a little bit of tidying and cleaning up around the house and then headed at about 10:30 to the market for some shopping.
The first stop had an amazing loook out where you could see all of Haiti and a lot of it was blue and white tents but there was also the pretty ocean. Pictures didnt do it any justice. The mercy ship is still in the water which is a ship that does medical care which was surprising to some of the volunteers who have been here awhile. I bought lots of souvenirs, the paintings here are beautiful! Once they know you want to buy everyone runs to your side asking you to "come look at their stuff" and you want to buy something from everyone.
The second stop was the Bapist Mission and we got to eat at a restaurant that has american food, so I had chicken fingers and fries, pretty good and the view was amazing not really many spots in Canada where you can sit in a restaurant and just look out at the mountains. It looked like it was the dating hot spot. I got my globe there that I really wanted that is made out of coconut. There was interesting pictures painted of the earthquake and they had a lot of collapsed buildings with ambulances and people stuck underneath buildings, and blood.
When we get back me and Britt sat out and did some reading and relaxing out on the balcony. Also played a monopoly card game which is sooo much fun! It seemed abnormally hot today 36 degrees celsius. Then walked down for supper which was pizza and salad. Decided to walk back up to the toddler house and realized that was a bad idea the hills are soo steep and we were all panting by the time we got to the house. I sat outside for a little bit with the toddlers and geez they love sunglasses and were climbing on my shoulders which are really burnt. Ow! I wish I could speak Creole and talk to the nannies because you can tell they want to talk to you and I try so hard but when you dont really know any its pretty hard. They know a couple of phrases in english like whats your name and how are you but thats about it.
There were some adoptive families here today seeing their children and celebrating one of them's birthday. They were from France. Good night!
