Images of Haiti :: Collection #2

It's Good Friday!!  We have the day off, as far as working goes, and are taking the day to do some travel and beach time.  My brother and I have been building a kitchen cabinet for one of the houses around here, and it's been working pretty well, so far.  Also, we decided to act like we knew what we were doing and walk the 1.5 miles from our house to the shop where we are working.  We ended up making it about a mile before we got picked up by a guy on a moped. :)  It's pretty funny to see 3 or 4 people piled up on a moped as it speeds down these crazy roads!

It's not a lobster, it's a massive crayfish.... and it tastes delicious!

This is sunrise with a young man carrying paddles to his boat to go fishing for the day.

You don't leave the house without a spare tire that's ready to go.

Well, we're back from the beach.  We started a friendly game of soccer with some kids, and I ended up kicking my brother in the ankle, and backing into a palm tree at a high rate of speed. Both were very painful. Then, Jodi and I were taking a stroll down the beach, only to come across what looked like a piece of trash, a purple bubbly thing.  We didn't touch it but found a bigger one down the beach a little ways, so out of curiosity, we picked it up with a coconut shell, and carried it towards our campsite.  A Haitian man came running after us yelling, and I thought we may have taken something of his, so we grabbed Leon to interpret for us.  Turns out, we were holding a Portuguese Man O' War, a super poisonous jellyfish.  He dug a hole in the sand and pleaded us to get rid of it.  We snapped a picture and did what he asked.  Thank God we weren't stupid and tried to touch it.
