potatoes and carrots and bananas, oh my!

Sunday Lucho and I walked down to the market to buy some spices to make tea. When we got back we got to work on the proposal to install our sanitation system in a community called santo who's funding is predominantly coming from Bill Clinton and is going to mean private toilets for over 400 homes. A huge responsibility but also a huge development in the rehabilitation of communities and in sanitation in general here.

We stopped for a break around 12 and rigged up a system to dry a couple of the mangoes that Josephs Mum had sent me away with earlier in the week. It worked a treat! A mosquito net, some clothes pegs a rack from the toaster oven and 3 clothes hangers.

We continued on the proposal for the rest of the the day but come 8pm we were both getting to the point of being far less productive and decided to call it quits. Lucho wanted me to meet a few of his friends so we went out to a place called Ruelles Chavannes which is kind of like the cool neighborhood in Port-Au-Prince where a predominant radio station is and where a few well known Haitian musicians and DJs are from.

On the way we stopped for a Jus Blanc- a very typical nighttime drink made of:
potatoes
carrots
bananas
vanilla
salt
sugar
ice
condensed milk (we opted out)

surprisingly good but SO filling!
