Haiti: Day One
Port-au-Prince to Les Cayes – Route 200.
Think of the most horrific Deliverance style east Kentucky slash Southern West Virginia mountain top dirt road strewn with broken down trucks and crashed tap-tap buses and you are about halfway there. Now add some of the chaos of the second Mad Max movie with Humongous driving and you are there.
Trip to Las Cayes took close to six hours. Huge detour over washed out bridges from the hurricanes that carried us over a mountain range denuded of trees. We arrived in Las Cayes fairly late where the kitchen at the Les Cayes Hotel prepared us a delicious meal of plantains, rice, beans and a choice of meat.
Here are a few images from the road trip.
A week on the roads of Haiti
I flew back from Port-au-Prince early this morning.
A week on the roads of Haiti is an experience. I will post more images over the weekend with stories behind them.
The NGO that I am on the board of has made an investment in a Haitian-American export company. I shot everything from hot peppers growing to portraits in tiny sugar cane mills in the north. The roads can be a challenge. They are pot-holed, lacking in signage, washed-out, by-passed and filled with broken down trucks and overflowing tap-taps – the wonderful Haitian public transport vehicle.
More to come over the weekend.
