I really had this Haitian girl going last time I was in Sosua. I bought this real funky letter opener which is an Taino Indian head with a black goat's horn protuding from the top and what looks like to be real human teeth that makes up the mouth of the face.
Anyways, I was sitting at the hotel bar and I was talking to her when I decided to go up and get that letter opener to show her.
I told her this is Voodoo....and man, did she ever get a look of fascination & fear in her eyes. I faced the letter opener face to "look" at her and she couldn't take her eyes off of it....even when she was talking to me...it really cracked me up how seriously she took in the "mystique" of that opener......
