Day 8 Trying new things in Haiti

We finally woke up to get showered in the new orphanage showers. It was pretty nice and we were pretty darn stinky from sweating the whole night. We knew that our ride was going to come sometime that “afternoon” but didn’t know exactly what time so we didn’t make any plans for the day other than packing. It should have taken one hour but it took us allllllll day. We also had to take some time to fix the power in that one room that didn’t work before. We got wonderful directions from Sherman again so it was pretty easy. But we still feel cool and accomplished. Our ride Danny FINALLY showed up to get us at like 6:30. Our girls were really worried for us and told us not to go because the road to Jacmel is windy and dangerous at night. We had no problems because Danny has driven it hundreds of times. We picked up two guys who wanted a ride and they thought we couldn’t understand Creole but we could. They were saying inappropriate stuff and were so surprised when we told them to stop. We talked to Danny the whole way and got along and understood each other’s sarcasm. Now we’re great friends. We arrived at our hotel after a two hour car ride and were ready to sleep. Our hotel was shweeeet. We felt like we were staying in a 5 star hotel. It had WARM water, real beds and air conditioning. Oh and water pressure!
