Yesterday as I drove to QCS to do the afternoon car pool run I sat in traffic trying to figure out what on earth was in the tap-tap in front of me. I looked and looked and still had no idea. I inched my way closer and closer still not able to make out the picture. I finally had to take off my sunglasses, pull myself forward while grabbing the steering wheel sitting very still to figure it out. I could make out the horns with no problem. Next I noticed a giant behind and a tail... it was a bull. Yes, a several hundred pound bull smashed into a tap-tap. Better yet, he wasn't in there all by himself. On the bench seats next to him sat several goats. I don't have any idea how they got him and his pals in the tap-tap or how it was that there wasn't mass confusion going on inside. They all seemed just fine. I am still wondering how they got him out.
I think we can all agree that this is not something you will see in the car pool line on your local school run. But it is a Haiti thing.
Last, but not least....Happy Birthday Jes with one s - we love you and miss you! See you soon!
BTW - you now have a cake and a purse named after you since we can't say the name of the cake with out laughing everytime. It is now the Jess cake! That would be Jess with two "s" in this case!

Just found your blog. My husband and I were in Jeremie in the Grand Anse Valley in July. I love the country, I love the people. We hope to come back again! We came with a group called New Life For Haiti that is sponsored by about 4 churches in the Chicago Area. We are partnering with a town called Marfranc.
I will be checking back often!
Blessings!
