Today we woke up early to visit the Pye’s VBS. We really loved the songs and skits they did. We videotaped them so we can show it to the girls when we get back to Leogane. The VBS was run by the 22 Pye kids and a team of Americans from Alabama. They also have some women to cook lunch for all the kids. Amy and I were on hot dog and rice serving duty. I felt Haitian with that giant pot of rice. Amy and I were lucky (kind of) to hold tiny babies all day long. Amy’s baby slept the whole time. My baby however was fine for most of the day but then got really cranky. I figured it was gas. It wasn’t. He must have eaten a lot that day because whatever was in his diaper exploded out onto my skirt. I had to wear a poopy skirt all day. Ugh. I told his mom that it’s a good thing I love babies.
After VBS the team went to Basin Bleu and I went with them. Amy was really tired so she went back to the Pye house. Amy hung out at their house and talked with some of the kids that she hadn’t met before. One of them spoke English really well. I am glad I had enough energy to go to Basin Bleu again because it sure is beautiful. Today the sun wasn’t out so it was a LOT colder. But it was refreshing. I don’t know why but I climbed up to the waterfall again to jump. It was way scarier the second time because I psyched myself out even more.
When I got back to the Pye house Amy and I hung out for a little bit then went back to our hotel to eat dinner with a new team of Americans. We always talk a lot to people who speak English because we’re not used to it. I’m sure they all think we’re a little crazy. After dinner Danny took us with him to a really nice beachfront hotel because he had a meeting there. Amy and I had some drinks while we waited for him. The hotel was BEAUTIFUL. We never saw anything like it in Haiti before. We talked to some boys there that told us that there was a Voodoo place really close to the hotel where they sacrifice children four times a year. We confirmed with Danny who told us that one of his daughters was supposed to be a sacrifice but that he bought her from them for 13 American dollars. Wow.
