‘We have found the best chicken dish on the planet.  We call it bangin’ chicken.  It is this chicken ( we think) and it is cover in onions and sauce and it is a little bit spicey but it is soooo good. If you look at the facebook photos on haiti family or on Ricardo’s iphone uploads then you can see all the yummyness that we partook of!  And wow it was yummy!

Oh though it was so hot last night.  Sleep.. well good luck.  The air was stale you just sweat all night long.  Couldn’t really fall asleep and that is taxing on the body.  Not to mention that the city has hit and miss power so some days we have electricity and some days we are running on the solar panels charging batteries in the camp.  With that power comes radio’s loud ones that are like DJ systemsthat can be heard for blocks and at 2:30 am they started like a night club and went till 4am.  wow good times for somebody.. just not us!

Saturdays the teams here take a slower day in prepping for the day of rest.  We still worked, the Medical staff went from 8 to 5 and they went hard.  The building crews finished the little stuff they could not get knocked out during the week earlier.

after the finishing touches we got to go the market.  This place was like something you would see on the travel channel.  It was an open air market and exactly what you would expect in a 3rd world country.  Raw chicken with flies, fish, grains in large 100lb sacks and all the domestic veggies that the nation had to offer.

We found this stand in the middle of the market, if you didn’t know what you were looking for you would have missed this place all togther.  It was like walking into another world.  But this stand with the most beautiful mangos you have ever seen.  Oh so delicious!  Get could get 4 for 5 haitian dollars or 25 goudes.  Crazy math down here.  two money systems us to haitian is 7.9 to 1 and then haitian dollars to goudes is 5 to one so there were two conversions for every transaction.  But in haiti shopping is a pleasure!

Those mango’s were the best fruit we have ever eaten!   Well we just ordered more bangin chicken so I have to run.  I have great video of the market,but I cannot upload it here the system is too slow.   watch for it on monday or tuesday of next week.
