Excursion

Yesterday was a long day. I arrived to my flat at 9 o'clock, unpacked my things and go eat something in a resaurant near. I was emotionaly exausted, too many emotions in a single day. But, there was no time to stop, that was my first rule, the second one is never forgot to enjoy. Like a ancient proverb said: "The moments aren't eternal, but memories make the moment unforgotables". My goal of the trip was to learn about this amazing experience that not everybody have the luck to have. This is what I thought to motivate my in the morning at 8a.m.
Why so early on the morning? Because I have already booked two months ago a excursion in bus of 5 day going to 3 amazings place in this beautiful country.

My first stop is at Jacmel, a village near the capital. Why is this an important place? This village is caracterise by only one thing that bring thousands and thousands of tourists every year: the black sand's beach. This beach could be considered like a normal one, except by the sand. This black sand was the product of a particular type of rock, the magnita. This village offers this extrange and awesome picture. The village was also really nice, it's there where I learn to do a local recipe. The "Ragú de carne a la jardinera". The recipe is a secret, but I can tell you one thing... IT'S DELICOUS!!



The next day we stay all day on the bus, stoping to eat or to strech our legs, travelling to our next stop: Cap Haïtien. This village is know by the extraordinarys beach and also by the ancient construction. The excursion was awesome, we arrive at morning, we go straigh to the beach, we stay until the sunset. After going to get a shower, we maid a guided tour with a local guide, she shows and teach us about this ancient buildings. I was having a great time but gues what, i get better. All the group went to the same restaurant "Les Crocodiles", categorized as one of the best restaurants in the country. I went to sleep about 12 o'clock happy and with a plenty belly.

The next stop was Port-au-Prince, where I was staying. After a 12 hour trip i arrived. I have to admit that in comparison with the villages I recently went, this city wasn't that good. It is like another big city, with a lot of noise and people. That conviced me that i didn't want to stay there, so i will go stay in the Cap Haitien and teach english in the local school. Maybe it was not the most inteligent idea but it was what i wanted, and that was enough for me. In what respect of Port-au-Prince ther is not much to say. You can comparit with Buenos Aires or Sao Pablo....
