A TREE GROWS IN DELMAS - GOOD MORNNG PORT AU PRINCE!


A TREE GROWS IN DELMAS

Good morning Poprens! Where the sun never sleeps – and neither does anyone else!
Hey, I can’t complain….Well, of course, I can always complain, it’s in my genes.  Kvetching is perhaps at the heart of what it means to be a Jewish American princess (and Haitian-by-courtesy), yes?

But my friends  in the capital did their very best and we actually have a bed, and not simply a tile floor, - this here has a rug, well, a ratty rug. but a rug - to sleep on.  And, there’s water carried in, usually, a bokit and tin cup to bathe with,  and even a secluded double-header head!  Er, that is, a 2-seater latrine. 

Plus it’s very secure.  Check out the security:  coils of concertina wire even atop the walls of the compound.

It’s Vietnam all over again.
