Today was not a very productive day. We have had server problems, flakey LAN cables, and potentially a bad switch. In addition, HughesNet, our satellite ISP seems not to be delivering the bandwidth that MAF is paying for. And the mosquitos were very hungry today.
A selection of left-over photos today:

| No one knows exactly what this is all about. It is on a side street about a block from the guest house |
This is the painting you can sort of see through the gates.???

| Port au Prince has a number of these buses which are called Obamas. They were to have been delivered four years ago, but for some bureaucratic reason were held up. After Obama was elected, they were delivered, thus the name. | |

| A closeup of beads like those Miquette was wearing. The pinker beads are pieces of sea shells. The others are the beads that the children make. If you can imagine a slice of a cereal box, say Wheaties, being ten inches long, and one half inch on one end tapering to a point on the other. This is dipped into a type of glue then tightly rolled from the fat end to the point. It is covered with a clear shellac when it is dry. Voila! A bead! |
