Let's Risk the Ocean: Legit

All three of us got "mostly warm" showers last night before bed! That's a miracle! Brynna shaved her legs! I'm telling ya - we're living it up! We were able to get in some FaceTime with Quinton and Rachael and talk with Josiah some on the tele this morning. The weather is perfectly perfect. It's not too hot or cool in any way. I guess it kinda feels like a "fall day" if that's possible in Haiti.

Around noon, Melanie Dearing and two of the kids went with us down the hill to get some pizza for lunch. We both wore black v-necks. We were legit twinning! The pizza was absolutely delicious! I hadn't tasted such yummy cheesiness in SO LONG I can't even remember! It was called Le Paris Saint-Tropez and it has a big cement head outside.

On the way back up we caught a tap-tap just outside the pizza place that only took us up to Thomassin 48 and it was the end of the line. So, we had to find another tap-tap. We walked up past the moto line and waited for a tap-tap. The moto drivers wanted us to hop on their ride, but they are too expensive (AND dangerous... we only ride on a moto from a preferred driver). We told them, "No, mesi. Tap-tap Fermat." A couple different tap-taps passed, but none stopped. Then from across the street this van pulled up that had carpets laying in it and three Haitian guys already in it. The front windshield had way more than the usual cracks in it. I do not believe they had their license to drive a tap-tap, but we got in. (Only after the four Haitian ladies who were waiting with us boarded...) We paid them the same amount as we would have a tap-tap. But, the whole way I was certain it was not a legit ride.

On the way back, we stopped at the BHM for one last ice cream cone before they close for two weeks. And we picked up one last loaf of cinnamon rolls. Don't know what we will do to "hang out" over these next two weeks. They will be closed to give their workers two weeks paid vacation.

Tomorrow, we are going to hear Simon preach at his church. He will pick us up at 7:45.
