Today was amazing! Seriously, is was probably one of the best days I've had here so far. At 5am this mourning, Nicole and I went up to Sosua with Pedro's sister to spend the day up there. It was soo much fun. First we went to the beach. It was just this little beach and we were to only one's there! It was beautiful. Later this Haiti guy came and we spoke a little bit in Kreyol (where I pretty much embarressed myself) but it was fun.Later we decided to go find this other beach so we had to walk through town. This was a big tourist town so there were a lot of white people there and things 
were pretty expensive. Anway, we were walking to the beach and we had to go through the little market area where all the venders were. And of course every shop we pass, we were hasseled. And it was funny too because they kept thinking that Nicole was American and she would just go off on them in Spanish saying that there prices here ridiculous. We did end up looking for a while and ending up getting some stuff for pretty good prices. Also, there were a lot of Haitians working as vendors here so we spoke a little bit in creole and then we actually ending up just staying and chatting with then for a little while. They also invited up to go dancing with them, but we had to go.
The bus ride home was freezing because they always crank the air conditioning up really high and we were still really wet from before. So here I am now, in La Vega again. This is my last night here because tomorrow I go to the capital and then Haiti on Friday. I'm excited to see my friends in the Capital but I'm going to miss Nicole and Pedro.
Here are just some random pictures from La Vega:
Well, it's getting late and I need to pack up my stuff so...good night!

Why do you spell "Creole" two different ways?
It's funny that you're in La Vega and Colleen is in Las Vegas.
