Spanish in Haiti

Not many folks speak English throughout Haiti.  Since I was in an area where my native tongue was obsolete, I naturally deferred to the only other language I know a tiny bit of: Spanish.  Great, they don't speak Spanish in Haiti either.  I know no French or Kreyol.  Bummer.  So then a few kids would say, "oh you speak Spanish?!"  To which I had to reply, "Un poco..."  Haha.  I pretty much only learned how to say, Bonjur, Monsuier, Madame, Merci, and Arovwaw (of which I know I butchered the spellings of each of those I'm sure!)
