my bruise

Nick and I went out on a date this past week and he taught me how to drive his moto. We went out to the land in Raymond and actually, I think I did pretty great... for the most part. I got kind of nervous but there were ZERO spectators, which, when you're a big white woman with a pink helmet learning how to drive a moto in Haiti, is no small feat in and of itself. Nick was my only spectator. That and the video camera. If we had decent internet and I was ABLE to upload video, I'd show you some of my sweet moto driving. Maybe another day.

But that's not what the post is about is it? Ah yes, my bruise. I did have ONE little accident where I ran into a big shale wall. I got scraped up and have been kind of sore. I busted the fender of the moto. ( It was nothing $25 didn't fix.) I also got this giant bruise.

So, I am not sure when (if) I will get back to trying again. (I did drive home after the accident.) But Nick is a really good moto driver now, so maybe I will just leave the driving to him.

Just as a side note, Nick and I are like the only people in Jacmel who wear helmets and we get made fun of all the time. I'm okay with that.
