Club Indigo

Well, today, we went to Club Indigo! Club Indigo is a former Club Med. It took us about 2 hours to get there, but the drive was worth it. Outside of town, they are rebuilding the roads to facilitate people moving out into the country (they are trying to get people to move out of PaP). It was nice. Not nice nice, like I imagine a club med would be, it was nice, run-down nice. It stopped being a Club Med 10 years ago and it kinda shows. They have a website: http://www.clubindigo.net/club-indigo-hotel-haiti.php?langue=fr


Don't get me wrong, it was still lovely, until the garbage started floating in. But, that was just before we left, so not bad. I have some really nice pictures! (Not of the garbage). This was a guys-only outing and the 6 of us had a really nice time. The day was just beautiful, the water was so freaking warm! (I didn't think it could be so warm!) I thought it would be a bit cooler like when we went to Trinidad & Tobago. Me and the guys swam out to a floating dock (good thing that salty water is more buoyant, me floating easier was a good thing)! The food was okay, but definitely not great. But, the beer was cold and it was super nice sitting in the shade on the beach.
One of the guys found a sea urchin and we have great pictures of that (good thing we didn't step on it).

On our way back we saw 2 separate funeral processions. I wish the funeral processions were done like this in Canada. First, there was the live band leading the way. Right behind it was the hearse and directly behind it, the family walking as the procession went slowly on its way to the cemetery. The 2nd funeral procession that we saw was in another village but it had the same configuration.

We were all tired on the way back, but we had a great time! Getting in the shower felt so good when I got back to the apartment! When I'll talk to the girls, I'll be just golden.
