The clinic is closed today because it is a religious holiday in Haiti, and the clinic observes the holidays of Haiti. Some of my Haitian friends invite me to a sacred religions waterfall to celebrate the day in the cleansing waters. We travel very far up the mountain to a magnificent waterfall called Seau d'eau. People light candle for prayer and bath in the pool beneath. We trek up the falls to the top where the fall feels like a load of gravel build dumped on you from above. We spend the better part of the day here. It still amazes me to see such despair and then see such beauty in the same place.
