Things I learned in Haiti
- Mardi Gras is NOT the best time to visit the country, especially if you want to move through Port au Prince.
- Schedules are more like intentions.
- The camp never sleeps. With 15,000 people sleeping in shelters at the base of your window, someone is always talking, dogs are always barking, and roosters are always declaring their territory.
- On Wednesday night, Ash Wednesday, the end of Mardi Gras, we were able to enjoy listening to either (a) a yelping voodoo women from 3am to 5am or (b) a woman having a baby. There was some contention on which it was. I suppose it depends on how soft-hearted you are as to what you heard that night. You decide.
