We were invited to the two homes next door to the convent for a visit (photos from the vists and Fondwa above). It was wonderful and very kind. At the first home she provides us with cuban coffee, coffee ground with sugar. It was so sweet and good, not bitter at all. It would be a perfect desert.
After coffee we hiked up the mountain to the van -- a mile and 1/2 straight up. Most people took a truck part of the way but I managed to make it the whole way up on foot. I was exhausted but I made it.
We road back to Port-au-Prince and stopped by an art market. I bought a nativity set fashioned out of a cocanut. Aftewards we went back to St. Joseph's were Walnus gave us a tour of all the artwork in the house. Beautiful paintings line the walls. After dinner we finally got a chance to give back to the boys a little bit for all their hospitality. Dariel, Tolu, and I helped the boys with the dishes. We watched the dance theatre again. Afterwards, the rain began to pour. It's the first day it rained on our trip and therefore its also the first night I slept in my actual bedroom inside at St. Joseph's (it's so nice sleeping on the patios).
