Photo Special!

Well, as I said, it’s been a pretty uneventful couple of days (lots of sleeping and feeling pukey), so there’s not much for me to blog about… Therefore, I decided to post pictures instead!  If you’re reading this, then it worked and the Haitian Internet gets 10 points!  Let’s just say that posting pictures is not an easy feat, so enjoy them!

Creole Lesson:  “Viv san pé.”

                         “Live without fear.”

For some reason, Haitians are fascinated by the word “reckless” written on my foot.  They also want to know what it means, but I can’t even seem to explain it.  At first my excuse was, “Well, it’s really hard to explain in my broken Creole.”  But even when I tried to explain it to the interpreters in English, I stumbled.  What exactly does it mean?  Why in the world have I been writing “reckless” on my foot for the past year?  I felt challenged.  So after thinking about it for awhile, I used my handy dandy Creole-English Dictionary to construct this phrase: Viv san pé.  Live without fear.  I guess that’s what reckless means to me.

Be reckless, guys!  I miss you!
