Team Haiti: Group 5

Day 6: La plage Bonbon

Today was a fun day! A group of us got up early and walked downtown to watch the Corpus Christi procession – lots of singing, praying and beautiful flowers everywhere. Later, we drove out to Bonbon, a small fishing village by the beach. We spent the day swimming, reading, sunning ourselves, and stuffing our faces with juicy mangoes. We bought ingredients for lunch at the local market and a woman prepared it for us while we were at the beach. Half of us went ahead to the woman’s house where we got a glimpse of the food preparation and life in Haiti. We spoke with her and her family and did a brief home assessment. We had a delicious meal of poisson boucané (spicy fish stew), boiled plantains, and soda which we shared with everyone. Miam miam!
