It’s easy enough to fly into Haiti and on to the Northwest in one day, but exhausting. It makes a big difference getting a good night’s sleep if you have to hit the ground running the next day. We started this trip sleep-deprived after working on building a shed at home well after dark last night (a big thanks to our friend, Cody, for finishing it up for us!).
What’s on TV in the hemisphere’s poorest country? Why, C-Span, of course – the only station that comes in on our hotel’s cable television. Maybe congressional hearings on subprime mortgages get high ratings here, something akin to reading the phone book aloud in a foreign language.
Though I have no data to prove it, I suspect there were more mosquitoes in our hotel room than outside. But we were grateful for air conditioning and a ceiling fan that worked. We watched it spin briefly (almost as entertaining as the mortgage hearings) before knocking out asleep.
