Haiti: A Little Taste Of Home :D

Hey Guys! How Is Everyone??
Well Right Now It's 5 In The Mornin And I Can NOT Get Haiti Off My Mind.. I Went Once Last Year And Fell "Head Over Heels" In The Love With The Place! But The Worst Part Of It Is, They Let Me Have A Little Taste, But We Can't Take Another Trip Back There This Year!!! So I Have To Wait Till 2011 To Go Back!! Ahhhh! I Don't Know If I Can Wait That Long..
I Have Almost All My Friends Wanting To Go Now! And I Talk About It Non-Stop! I Made Life Time Friends There, Ya Know?? I Really Want To See Them All Again:)
The People There Are Just Amazing! I Know You Here Horror Stories And Stuff About The Place And I Do Have To Say, It Prolly Will Scare You The Minuet We Land.. But Weather You Love Or Hate It, It's Gonna Put A Little Imprint On Your Heart:)
Haiti Is A Love Hate Thing. Either You Love It Or You Hate It. There's Really Not A Happy Medium For Haiti.
I Had Never Been Anywhere Before Haiti. I Mean I Have Been Outa State And Different Things Like That.. But Never AnyThing Like Haiti..
So That Day We Landed In The Haition Air-Port My World Was Turned Upside Down! I Met Some Of The Most Amazing People There. And I Am Going To Admit, You Don't Stay In A Five Star Hotel Or Have Gourmet Food. But What We Did Have, I Was So Thankful For:)
When You Go To Haiti You Learn To Over Look Things, And Find The Bright Side. You Can't Be Picky In Haiti Either.. Most Of The People Are Very Friendly. But You Do Have To Watch Out For Those Seldom Ones..
When My Mom And I Went We Stayed At The Mission Of Hope. That's Where The Hope House Is Located, Right Directly Below From Us, On A Slope. So We Could Just Walk Down There And See The Kids:)
I Also Got To Meet My Little Girl My Mom And I Sponsor, Her Name Is Fortune And She Turned 13 This December! Oh My Goodness She Has Gotten Soooo Big! She Is A Beautiful One Too! I LOVE Her, Sweet As Pie!
There Food Is Pretty Good Too:P I Mean, It is Nothing Like Ours! There Main Dishes Usually Consist Of Beans And Rice, But We Had A Cook Where We Were Staying, And She Made Some Good Food!
I Remember One Night She Made A "Surprise" For Us. So None Of Us Knew What She Was Making.. It Had Just Gotten Done When The Lights Went Out. Of Course We Were All Used To This By Now Cause Everything Was Powered By A Generator... Lol
So She, And A Couple Of Other People, Just Served Us While We Were At The Tables.
So After A Long Days Work We Are All Starving! So We All Dig In, Went Back For Seconds And Had Extra Time To Talk Before The Lights Ever Kicked Back On.
Well, When The Lights Did Come Back On We Were All Pretty Horrified..
Whatever That "Surprise" Stuff Was, It Was Black..
It Was Some Kinda REALLY Thick Soup With Some Kinda Green Chucks In It.. We Finally Figured Out There Were Carrots In It, But That Was It. And We Were To Scared To Find Out What Kinda Meat Was In It.. So We Just Thanked Amise, And Did Up The Dishes! Lol
Haiti Isn't A Very Clean Place Either.. We Can't Drink There Water For Risk Of Malaria.. They Order Us Special Water To Drink.
Haiti Really Is A Life Changing Place. And Like I Said Before, Even If You Hate It, Your Never Gonna Forget It..
So That's What Was On My Mind! Thanks For Letting Me Rant On And On!
Love You Guys!
