This past weekend was amazing, I got to go down to Port-au-Prince, for the 3 day weekend. Amber took us there to drop off Sarah at the airport because she is going to the states for around a week or so I think. The best part of the trip (other spending time with the great people I went with) was that I got to have sushi. That was the best thing ever, they even had vegetarian rolls which was perfect for me. It was so good. Sushi is the best and I was soooo happy to have it haha. We also got to go to the top of our building and it was at night, but the view was still so pretty. And the wind was blowing and I was cold, which is crazy because its always hot. That was the first time I have ever been cold outside in Haiti. We also went to this store called apparen project I think, it has things you can buy that people hand made and the money goes to a good cause. But to get to that store is crazy because its like hidden and the way to get there is you go up this one main road, then while your on that road you have to look for a butterfly (not a real one but like this 2 ft by 2 ft metal one that will be on one of the buildings walls, because the stores symbol is a butterfly). And the first butterfly, I don't even know how Katie saw it because it was a tan metal butterfly on top of a tan wall, so you would never notice it if you weren't looking. So then you have to turn where that butterfly is and then go down that road and look for the next one, the rest were orange which was easier to spot, but still its pretty tricky getting there you have to follow like 5 butterfly signs until you make it, it was an adventure. When we were there I also had a smoothie. It was yummy, It had mango, banana, strawberry, and peanut butter. I love peanut butter so it was great. :)

We also went to some grocery stores, it was very weird to go in a grocery store for the first time in three months, it did not feel like I was in Haiti because in Port-de-Paix there aren't any grocery stores. But a lot of the stuff can be pricey, I got a bag of Sour Cream & Cheddar chips, which I was really excited to have.

But yeah it was just great to spend some quality time with Amber, Sarah, Samantha, Lindsey, and Katie. I loved talking with them and getting to know them better. It was really great. And it was just so nice to change our scenery for a bit and have an adventure in Port-au-Prince. It was an awesome vacation. :)

And we went the weekend of the election in Port-au-Prince. So you would think it might be a little crazy there, but actually on Election Sunday, no one was out. It was crazy. Normally there is so much traffic that it takes an hour to get to from where we stayed to the airport. But we passed by the airport after just 20 minutes of traffic. There was barely anyone out and it was awesome because that meant no crazy traffic.

Like you wouldn't believe how packed it can get, and we were driving and at one point we weren't able to get through this one section, so Lindsey jumped out of the car and stopped this car to not pass us so we could finally get through, it was funny. And there are constantly people weaving their way across the street as well so there is a lot to watch out for if you drive.

And another time we had to get up this street in our car, that Amber is driving, and there is a big truck on the other side of the road and there isn't enough room to pass through. But there are people selling things on the side of the street, so they all one by one start pushing in their stuff another foot so we can squeeze though, like 15 people had to move their stuff, but we didn't even ask them too, it was really sweet.
