How was my first night sleeping in Haiti? Well, it took me awhile to fall asleep due to the heat, but eventually I did. Then, at about 11 pm, I hear Heidi say, "Someone is trying to get in the house". Oh my, Sarah and I jumped out of bed and went into the living area. Three men walked into the house holding room keys that looked just like ours. After Sarah and I grilled them pretty hard, it turned out that they got here two days ago and are doing some sort of job here in Haiti. One guy explained that his company got him the keys. This was all very confusing to us, because the leader of the guesthouse, Sheila was not expecting anyone until Wednesday, however, she also explained that she had just gotten back to Haiti, so maybe that is why she had no idea. So we had the guys call Sheila to let her know and we proceeded to go back to sleep. This was also difficult due to the adrenaline rush!
Once asleep, I was way more susceptible to noises. There was a big storm last night and the thunder was LOUD! I woke up almost everytime there was a loud thunder. I think I was mainly trying to make sure it wasn't someone trying to get in the door!! Then, the storm finally stopped, and I slept for awhile.
At 5:45 what happened? You guessed it..a rooster crowed RIGHT outside our window! He was loud and he was telling us it was time to get up. I got up and went to the bathroom and then came back and tried to go to sleep. I slept off and on for awhile. We all woke up before the watch alarm. I am now trying to decide if I want to brave a very cold shower this morning. I know I sweat some last night, but not sure if it is enough to make me want to take a cold shower.
Ok, that's all for now. I had to share while it was fresh and I had sometime (thanks to the rooster).
got to love those roosters! You could always name him :0)
