Car Wash

It’s always fun when Anel(one of my Haitian brothers) takes us to wash the mission van! As usual, it’s different than washing a car at home. First of all, it’s free. Not only that, but we drive it down to where the river meets the ocean, and we drive the van right into the river. It’s not very deep in that spot, so we just stand in the water and use buckets to get the van wet. After the van is wet, we take wet cloths and scrub all the dirt off. Then we wash off all the dirt with our buckets and scrub the van down once again, this time with soap. After washing all the soap off with our buckets of water, we take a brush and start sweeping out the inside of the van. Since there aren’t any vacuum cleaners around here, this is really the only way to clean the inside of the van. So although it’s entirely different than at home, washing the van in Haiti is loads of fun and it always involves a water fight here and there! Hehe!
