I am on the road, again. This time back to
Haiti. I'm here for the week at the local partners forum. We bring all
the clinics/hospitals together a couple of times a year to share best
practices, get technical updates, etc. It is good and hot, not quite
Africa hot but hot none the less. And every day at about 5pm it rains.
I'll be in Port-au-Prince for this whole trip so not a lot of field
time, but it's nice to be back and see everyone again. Here's a little
local flavor for you.
This is a "tap tap", the local bus. They are
brightly painted as you can see, fit 30 - 40 not so comfortably, and
often have big iron artwork welded to the tops. The most common I see
are big long airplanes welded to the top of the "bus". The locals can
tell where the tap tap is from in the country, or even where it Port-au-Prince it is going by the way it is painted.
Sugar cane is for sale everywhere. It stave's off hunger so there are wheelbarrows just like this on every corner, sometimes two. And yes, that is a very large pile of pots and pans on her head. That's nothing, I've seen queen size bed frames before too.
Ok, that's it for now. See you all stateside!
