A beautiful country


Salut tout le monde!

Haiti is a beautiful country. Yes, the city has been ravaged by the earthquake, but I still have to say it, its beautiful. I'll include some pictures that I took. In these pictures, you can see the incredible damage that has been done to this city, but you'll see some amazing images as well.

Today, I tried to sleep in. I was up early, but forced myself back to bed. I got up again around 09h30 to check the internet connection. It was online! Woohoo! I was able to chat with the girls (and see them) using Skype and then I was able to update this blog.

The driver came and pick us up at 11h00. We went for a tour and visited some nice spots (our first stop was in front of an old rhum brewery), then a lookout and then we visited some of the damage done by the earthquake. Hmmm, let me see if I can post some of the images here...hold on.... HA! It worked! In the picture, you see moi in front of an old rhum brewery.

From there, we proceeded to a lookout and saw a view of the entire city. It was breathtaking! It took forever for me to upload the picture above, so I'll refrain for the moment and see if I can upload more pictures later. Okay, let me see if I can squeeze in one more picture...


I was able to buy a few items for the girls and then once we got back to our appartment, me and some colllegues went swimming in the pool that sits on top of the adjacent building (both building belong to the same owner.

I'll end this post here. Another thunderstorm is starting (three nights in haiti, three thunderstorms). Stephanie, Melodie, Cadence, I love you girls very much!

  1. Louis,
    Je trouve ca super cool que tu écris un blog aussi. Notre journée a été pas mal le fun. Ont a vue un coté d’Haïti que la communauté internationale ne voit pas. 30 minutes après nous étions dans le coeur de la dévastation causé par le séisme. (mum's the word) Aujourd’hui est seulement le début, ont va s’amuser en mass durant les 3 prochaines semaine! Et oubli pas, y’a toujours le Barbancourt pour nous engourdir a la fin de la journée!
