Things I noticed on my walk home from church today:
1. a guy wearing bowling shoes
2. a woman going pee on the sidewalk
3. your nose starts to burn when you breath in dust for any length of time
4. Haitians like to make comments/ask questions when you walk by eg. "Are you lost?" "Can I give you a ride home?" "Look at the beautiful white woman".
5. the UN have an ambulance complete with an ambulance siren and a UN escort
6. it's the dry season and when it doesn't rain for a long time it becomes VERY dusty!
Haitians generally think you are crazy if you walk anywhere if you have the means to pay for a taptap or a motor taxi. I just smiled and let them think what they want. It's probably not far from the truth.

All that on your walk to church? It's not that long of a walk....so clearly you live in an interesting area! LOl

Was this on the way back from the church basically across the street? If so--that's a bit crazy! Oh well--always nice to be called beautiful even by total strangers ; )
Amy/Gwen, to clarify, the church across the road is not the church I usually attend. I walked home from the church that meets at the school. The area I live in is not quite that interesting!
