Haiti - Sunday

Yesterday was fulfilling day we started off visiting a home in town for pumpkin soup (soup joumou) that was full of everything and I mean everything!!  After that we headed out to a village called La Pila to a church that was nothing more then four cinderblock walls, concrete/dirt floors and a tin roof and we could have listened to them all day long.  There singing was truly nothing we have ever heard before!  Keep your eyes out for a video.  


Then we took a 1.5-hour ride in to the town of Hinche and we went to the most beautiful waterfall we have ever seen, the waters were so blue it was indescribable.  We took a hike to the top and saw a really cool cave and banana trees.  If hiking in flip-flops wasn’t challenging enough we had children in swarms insisting on dragging us to the top.  After the hike we jumped in and swam to the other side where you could swim under the waterfall and majority of the crew were jumping off the rocks (no cholera it hits with in 12 hours). Then we came back and went to the local outdoor bar that, per Tim is whimsical and a place that dreams are made of.
