Ice

This is where we buy ice for our ice box. A truck delivers it from Gonaives.

It\’s covered in rice hulls for insulation.

The block she is cutting for us is about 24" x 10" x 10". It cost 100 gds, ($1.52), per hand span, or about 8".

Our block cost $4.56. It will last 3 or 4 days.

So, our "refrigerator" cost us about $35 to $40 a month to operate.
