Snow day in Haiti??

Yesterday morning I had this great plan to sleep in late. At 6:30 I woke up to the sound of a really strong wind blowing things around on the porch outside my room. I quicly got up and took inside anything that would possibly be thrown off the porch by the wind. The rain was also coming down quite strong and so I had to run around and close all the window slats so the rain wouldn't pour in. By the time all this was done I was too wide awake to go back to bed. So I sat and watched the wind and rain for a while. This is really unusual weather for this time of year.
I had made plans with one of the teachers from school to go downtown and shop, but knowing Haitians and their dislike of rain I knew that she would not want to go in the rain. So there I was stuck at home watching the rain fall. It felt like a snow day, it was cold out and it wasn't a good idea to go out without a car. Speaking of my car, I called the garage yesterday to see if my car was ready. They informed me that the mechanic did not come to work today because of the rain, so it really was like a snow day!
So I spent the morning in my pjs watching movies and drinking coffee. Then I walked over to Karen's for a bit to drink some Hot Chocolate in true snow day fashion. After that I started to feel a bit stir crazy. I walked around the house in circles, watched 4 episodes of TV in a row, and read for several hours!! I need to get out of the house today! Thankfully today the sun is out and although it's not hot out, I have taken my socks off!
Today we are having our staff party with the guys who live and work at the school. Tonight there is a Christmas Eve service at the English speaking church across the road from my house and then I've been invited to a Christmas Eve party. It should be a lot more exciting than yesterday!
