It was truly a great experience of my life to see the appreciation of lambi is (this is the Haitian version of conch, popular throughout the Caribbean). We ate it for dinner with fried plantains and avocado, and it really was terrific- the best meal I have had here yet.
In the morning we experienced one of the worst storms I have ever seen. Rain fell torrentially for a long time while thunder burst over us, which was so loud that it sounded like bombs going off over us.
The electricity here goes off several times a day, always in the early morning for a few hours, and usually in the late afternoon. Many people have generators to supply electricity in their homes, which uses a lot of gas. I have always taken a steady flow of electricity for granted until now, but no longer. Funny how a missions trip helps you to look at things differently.
