Up On The Roof- Jacmel, Haiti

Thursday, July 18- I have befriended the young girls in the neighborhood. We meet at night, on the rooftop to escape the Haitian heat. One of them has a phone and a few downloaded music videos. I sit on a pail and they cluster around me, their boney elbows resting on my shoulders. They insist I watch their 1" screen filled with Haitian pop stars. Sometimes they dance for me and sometimes I attempt to dance for them. This brings a lot of laughter and rightfully so. When the bugs become too much, I excuse myself and go back to my room. 

Tonight, I am bringing my MP3 player and my music. Madonna will be joining us.
