Wednesday, post Haiti Humpday... As a disclaimer, I've gotta tell you up front that this is going to be a fluff piece post. :) I'm still struggling to get my brain back on Montana time, went to bed too early last night, woke up at 4:30am. By 5:30am I gave up, got up and did laundry, paid bills, and was incredibly productive before the sun caught up with me! The Haiti subject of the day is Transportation. Haitians take carpooling to a whole new level. The small pick-up trucks are called Tap-Taps, because riders "tap" on the roof when they're ready to get out. This reminds me of the Reggae buses in Grenada. :) There's a great deal of ingenuity and imagination that goes into naming the tap-taps. Motorcycle taxis are very common in Haiti, it's a faster mode of transportation and the gas is cheaper.  Closer to Port au Prince, the buses get bigger, and people often ride on the top of the bus. The downside of all of these transport options, is that driving in Haiti is pretty dangerous. After the massive earthquake in 2010, the government put in a new 2 lane "highway", but the driving conditions are still precarious. On our way to Port au Prince, at the end of our trip, there was a massive vehicle accident involving multiple buses. As we drove by, we frantically looked to see if there were bodies on the ground that needed medical attention. It's quite common that these type of accidents lead to mortalities. On a happier note, in the country side, it's more common to see an elderly woman riding a donkey. :)
