Chocolate… Port-au-Prince driving!
18 March 2007I think the title says chocolate… Well, it’s something we don’t have easy access to. When we payed $85 for a gallen of chocolate Ice Cream, you would think we were serious (and anyone else who’d pay that kind of price) about our chocolate. Actually, $85 Haitian is really only about $11 US, but we honestly read the wrong price - we thought it was going to be $45, and I didn’t pay attention to our check out… Oh well, it was a lot of fun to eat on the way back on the bumpy roads. We got it all over our clothes, somehow Cediea and Ti bla didn’t get it on themselves, but we were the ones scooping it - that is pouring it, because it was melting so fast. We gave a ride to a guy up the mountain and I gave him some ice cream in a container, it was like a milkshake. He got it on his shirt. It was funny.
Port-au-Prince is amazing. Our driver Ti bla is good too. He drives with as much speed and as little space as he can. He doesn’t need to stop at the stop signs, just take a quick look to make sure the guy who is coming sees him. He’s really good on the horn too, - it’s a necessity. Coming around a corner, he blows the horn. Generally it doesn’t matter what side of the road we are on. I kind of like the way he makes the steering wheel spin this way and that way… I wish I coud drive like him!
Stumble it!
