Salut tout le monde (encore)!
I have to make an addendum to my very first post published in Haiti my last time around. Re-reading the post, I saw that I had mis-named my friend who had offered me a cold Heineken my first night in Port-au-Prince. In the post, I mentioned that Luc offered me a welcomed cold Heineken, but in fact it was Éric that had done so. My bad. Just thought I'd mention it.

A good 2nd day
Salut tout le monde!
Well, today was a good second day in Haiti (2nd workday that is). ;-) Man, I was so busy, it seemed like there were not enough hours in the day! Same for tomorrow, even though its a half-day (we finish at 12h30 on fridays), I might have to stay longer to finish things up! Hopefully not, cuz, I'd like to get my half-day off (and, did I mention that its half-days off on FRIDAYS!?!). ;-)
All kidding aside, the day was really interesting! And for the evening, I just came back from a good supper with great people (again). This time around, we had marinated steaks and beer chicken. Mi-uuuummmm!
Hmmm, I am sort of out of inspiration for the night, so I might as well end it there. A big hello to everyone! Mom, I saw that I missed your call on Skype, so we'll chat soon, I'm sure. Dan, I added you to my buddy list, so we'll chat soon too.

Tacos!
Can you guess what we ate for supper? (that's dinner for you english folks). I'll give you one guess... Yep! Tacos! My compliments again to the chefs, job well done! Supper was great and so was the company! Man, did it ever rain!!! Holey moley! But, its done now. ;-)
Things I have learned today: Be doubtful of a bottle of Port that has no year written on it! ;-) Item number two of things I have learned today, the person you think you know might be a comedian! Just found out tonight that my buddy Éric was a stand-up comedian during his university years. I had to come back to Haiti to find this out! He had me almost splitting my ribs I was laughing so hard!
After supper was done, I went to raid my colleague's Kevin apartment. He left last saturday. He was in apartment #2 (where I stayed last time). He left a whole bunch of food (and also beer) for moi! Woohoo! Me got about 30$ of food! Thanx Kevin!
Got back to my apartment to see that my cousin Gilles had tried to reach me through Skype. Hi Gilles!! A big hello to you, Shelina, Cédrik and Gabrielle!
I'm chatting with Stéphanie and the girls now, so will leave it at that.
Ciao people!

Haiti 2.0
Well, I'm back! ;-) Man, leaving the 2nd time was harder than the first! The flights went okay and the ride to the apartment too. Arriving in Haiti went alot better this time around. We were three of us that were arriving and we got to wait in the Salon Diplomatique (which was nicely air-conditioned) while someone retrieved our suitcases (which turned out to be a bit of a wait for us since there was a problem unloading the container that holds the luggage from the plane). Anyhow, did I mentioned we were in an air-condition area? That was nice! My buddy Mike was on the same plane! I thought he was only coming back next week, but right on! We managed to stop to do a little grocery on the way, so I'm all set. I'm going up to Mike's place for some BBQ.
A big hello to everyone and especially my little brother Stéphane! Its his birthday today! Bonne fête le p'tit!
