Today was more of what we will call a "culture day". The clinic is closed on the weekends, so actually, this is more of a culture weekend. This morning we got to go to le Basin Bleu (sp?), which is a series of three waterfalls with glorious blue water. One of the CCH staff, Lucasson, drove us in the truck up a steep, dirt road to the waterfalls. We went through the river, where everything is done- drinking, washing, bathing, car washing... the unfortunate part is that the river is extremely polluted because there is no organized garbage system here, so garbage is literally thrown wherever- in the river, the street. Wow, the things we take for granted, huh?
Here are some pictures from the drive and the waterfalls. Tomorrow, we might go to experience church in Creole and then go to the beach in the afternoon and eat out at a restaurant on the beach for dinner. We're looking forward to getting back in the clinic on Monday!
