So today is Corpus Christi (a Catholic Holiday that celebrates the Eucharist), which meant that I had the day off from work! I went to the beach with some American HHF volunteers and a Haitian HHF staff member (Emily is a nurse from PA, David is a premed student from RI and Clifford is an English/Creole translator from Jeremie). The beach was absolutely beautiful! The water was water was calm and warm, but the sand was so hot we had to sprint from out towels to the water. There was an old sunken ship that we swam out to and jumped off of. There was also a cave that we swam into and climbed up the walls. Not many Haitians know how to swim, but there were people there wadding and floating on blocks of wood. Apparently Haitian people don't really like this beach because they believe that there are evil spirits in the cave. Luckily, we were informed that it was safe for us to go into the cave because evil spirits think white people taste too bitter!
