Salut tout le monde!
This morning, as we were pulling in to the parking lot at work, we heard on the radio that 10 people died this weekend. We sometime hear news like this back home on the radio too. What is different is that it wasn't car crashes that claimed their lives, but it was the intense rain that we had this weekend (torrential rain)!
That sobers you up. You think sometimes of traffic accidents, that they do happen, that they do claim lives, but its very seldom that you hear that people died due to a torrential rain. We do hear about floods and such, but this was different.
As for things I have seen today, I saw walking pharmacies! I'll try to snap a picture if I can. Basically, you have a guy walking around with what looks like and upside down cone on his head. The cone is composed of pills in their wrappers (but not boxes). These guys walk around until someone flags them down to buy such and such drugs. Hmmmm. Sounds a bit fishy to me, but hey, this is Haiti (or I should write Ayiti as it is written in Créole).
My stomach is still feeling a bit queasy, but I think I'm feeling better, so that's good (knock on wood).
Catch ya later!
;-) LIL in Haiti
