Our first night in Haiti, my boyfriend Nathan and I stayed here: The Matthew 25 House. We stayed in a brightly painted room on two cots and were thankful for the breeze moving the curtains. From this deck, we watched a soccer game between two local teams.
The self-appointed ball guy was the most fun to watch. He wore a pink ball cap and a leisure shirt with boats and anchors on it. He ran around collecting soccer balls that got kicked out of bounds and threw in new ones.
The goalie of one team needed a break in the 100-degree heat. A friend poured a plastic pouch of water over his head.
Finally, a breeze picked up and the flag waved above the crowd.
