Blue lagoon

        Now, on Saturday we revisited the hottest place in Jacmel, the tourist trap of all tourist tourist traps, when people come to Jacmel this is where they go.........uhhh wait a minute, I was talking about about the fencing site and not the Beach....well the I guess the fencing site is the hottest place in Jacmel, and it is a tourist trap( the wasps lured you into the beauty of the place and they try to keep you trapped by buzzing around your head). This will be one of the places were people want to go when in Jacmel after the vision of Joy in Hope, and the community of Raymond in working partnership, develops their 15 year plan for Raymond.
       So in the morning 10 of us put 300 ft of fence, for the fun details of that adventure Check out "A fencing we will go" on this Blog site,  to much fun. In any case, all of our skin were shimmering in the the hot sun( that was a nice way we were dripping sweat) . The goats on the property were calling to us all morning, if you listen to them hard and long enough, some goats sounded human, or maybe it was a touch of sun stroke. The wasps were out defending their territory, the black and yellow caterpillars(poisonous if they bite you) doing what they do. All in all, it was a great morning,we got back to the Isaiah house and the rest of the team gave us a cheer and served us lunch, it was nice.
        Went to the beach in the afternoon, it was beautiful and very relaxing which I needed. It was interesting to have 20 white( blanc) people descending on a Haitian beach and within 15 minutes the souvenir vendors set up shop all around us, with the bracelets, necklaces, and the Haitian canvas paintings.
         The water was like bath water, which was better than the temp outside. We all had a great time playing with the mangines children and just chillin on the beach watching a soccer game, feeling any stress we had melt away.
          I had my first experience of drinking coconut juice from a real coconut. A Haitian boy came up with a wheelbarrow full of coconuts and sold a coconut for $1.00, then he took a machete and chopped and carved it into a point, with one more chop, he open a small hole to revel the juice. I gladly drank it, wasn't sweet, I still can't put my finger on the taste of the coconut. After the juice, he scooped out the meat of the coconut, It was white and rubbery, and had very little taste, good times.      
          Was other great day in Haiti.
