This is going to be short. I wanted to get the creative juices flowing and, in the first instance, to let you know I have arrived.
First, I must make an apology. As I have not set up internet and the likelihood of doing so in the near future is slim, posts may be mere scraps of information about what I am doing. Fear not, avid reader, however, for I have begun to compose a series of posts which will be released at regular intervals once I am connected in a more reliable way.
I am coming to you from the comfort of the cafe. Internet is snail-paced, there is no cafe and it's a touch loud for my liking. To reach it,I had the pleasure of my first journey on a mototaptap. I have quickly, in line with the most devout voodoo followers, become resigned to my fate. I will have to take, what is essentially a motocross bike for three wherever I travel within Leogane and that is that.
It is not for the faint hearted. Mindful that some of my closest friends and family (and girlfriend) may (if I am lucky) be concerned for my safety, I will not go into detail. All I will add, is that it is the safest and quickest way to travel save for a panzer tank on roads which are sometimes blocked with earthquake detritus, cows, goats and people.
I hope to post something more substantial very soon and can't wait to hear from a few more of you.
You'll know you've made it in Leogane when they let you drive the mototaptap
