one of the funnest (that should be a word) things to do here is show someone a photo of themselves. there are photo studios here (think haitian glamour shots), but going to one is usually not a high priority and mostly done in necessity (for a name badge, id card, etc.). the reactions at seeing one's photo on the camera usually come in the form of a shriek, hoot, or a mouth dropped open. before i left ferrier, some of my closest friends let me steel their photos.
okay, she's not really one of my closest friends, but she looks like a fun one. caught her just after she saw her photo on the camera...
some of my 2 favorite timoun yo (kids). rose's sons.
rose. rose. rose. she took SUCH phenomenal care of us. oh, and if you could only hear her laugh.
the sweetest girl friends. we ran together, laughed at my creole together, and sat around talking for more days than we didn't. boy, i miss them.
the facial expressions range pretty dramatically. love it.
stephen and our homeboys. there's too much to say about them. i have NO idea what we'd have done without them. our haiti time would have been lackluster for sure.
we had to say good-bye to ferrier and our most incredible friends saturday morning. until we get to see them again in person, these photos, phonecalls, and mail (by way of other ferrier travelers) will have to do. i still can't believe they let us be their friends. i feel so lucky.
