We started out the day eating cliff bars and chatting with a new team of people from Alabama(is everyone from Alabama???) We were discussing how all the girls were going to have to guard each others butts as we climbed into the tap tap when we discovered that we were riding in a regular bus! YAY! We then headed to church. The church in Jacmel was very nice. All the people were very dressed up. The women were all in skirts and the men were all in dress pants and collared shirts. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves there. There was a lot of great music, but the BEST part was that there were fans! Shallow I know. Actually the best part was one one of the 'bamans broke their plastic chair. There was a designated person to come in, remove their chair, and replace it with a Saturday metal chair. Pretty funny as he was sitting in the 3rd row from the back. After church we were walking out when Becca slipped on the edge of the road. I made fun of her of course. Then like 2 minutes later I slipped on the same part and fell all the way to the ground on hands and knees. I basically spent the whole days slipping around. Toms shoes+a little bit of dirt=slippery.
We didn't really have a plan for the day. We asked 2 of Danny & Leann's kids to show us around Jacmel. It was cool to see the different style of buildings there, but no one was really out and about. I think they were not out for 2 reasons. One was that it was Sunday and things are much calmer on Sundays. The other is that there was a major soccer game happening, and everyone...EVERYONE was glued to their TVs watching.
Ok mama Becca and mama Amy don't freak out...but we rode motorcycles or motos as they are called here. We asked that they drive slowish and to please not kill us. It went well and we actually enjoyed it. We made it safely back to the Pye's house.
After going to town we mostly just hung out. We ate "American Spaghetti"and tried to get on updating out blog. YOUR WELCOME! Does anyone even read this? If so why doesn't anyone leave comments????
It was raining a lot so we avoided walking home to the hotel that is like a block and a half away. So everyone here fell asleep. When we decided to leave the gate was locked from the inside. We had to call Danny and wake him to help us. As I was walking out of their house I slipped off their 3 stairs. My butt landed at the bottom in a puddle of water, my neck hit the top stair, the back of my lungs hit the second stair, and my lower back hit the bottom stair. It was awful. I didn't want to cry in front of the guy so I sat up on my knees and tried to catch my breath. Danny asked me if I was ok and I said yes. Then we walked up the hill to our hotel. I was struggling big time. I felt like I couldn't breath and everything hurt. When we got to the hotel I slipped on the tile entry, but didn't fall. We went inside into our room. While Becca showered I called my hubby. Of course he was nice to me so I kind of relaxed and maybe cried a little. Then Danny called on the other line to make sure we made it and to ask if I needed a doctor. I answered him with the shortest answers I could because I didn't want him to know I was crying. Dumb I know. So that's how we ended the night. It was very late like 11pm :(
