It's hard to believe that poverty and filth lies not too far from here due to years of conflict and the recent earthquake:
What surprised me the most was the mountainous landscape and the beauty that hid all of that:
The native artisans were extremely intimidating and assertive, making it difficult to browse the shops
But the beautiful water made it a lovely place to swim and sunbathe
Haiti was a beautiful place to spend a day
Come back tomorrow to spend a day in Tulum, Mexico at the Mayan Ruins
Oh my, it is hard to believe. The photos are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazng what a poor country can do when money is involved. I am sure that was the first place to get checked and made sure it was just right for all the money carrying tourist. The same is true for Jamica. When we were there We found it beautiful and serene then we went up into the mountains to a plantation. mmmmm a much better picture of things.

Fisherhubby and I lived in Haiti with our two oldest children for three months during the summer of 1984. We lived out on the Island of La Gonave where hubby worked in the hospital.
