I guess I will be the first to admit that I haven't done my job in keeping this blog up-to-date this year. With electricity and internet issues at the beginning of the year, it was quite difficult to check my e-mail, let alone, keep up with this thing! But I guess I have realized a different reason for my lack of storytelling, as of late. Things that I would have posted about as odd or strange, now seem normal to me. The craziness of days without electricity, riding a moped as my #1 form of transportation with a haitian driver telling me loves me (and sometimes proposing marriage), jumping over sewage, dodging a donkey on the way to school, and being harassed for candy by the cutest little boy in the world, bendjy, are all common every day activities that I have forgotten aren't part of the "normal" life I used to live.
Gone are the days of driving my car to the Target to run some errands, fast food (actually fast anything), smooth paved roads, and hours of endless entertainment on YouTube. No more ice cream, reliable postal systems, blending in with the crowd (can you imagine this white girl trying to blend in among a crowd of haitians??!!), or Qdoba.
And I couldn't be happier :)

I do miss the slowness...just today when I was stuck in dumb traffic to the mall...I continued to think in my head how amazing it always was to not have that in PdP!
