This is where that fine Haitian rum comes from... or at least a small portion that tasted good to us.

Bright colors liven up otherwise drab buildings, boats, tuk-tuks and general living conditions throughout Haiti.

Traveling by hired car from Port au Prince to Jacmel, slices of life were ever interesting while motoring slowly by. Living conditions were meager but people were friendly, with seemingly happy people gathered to socialize most everywhere along the way.

This grand edifice with it's immaculate grounds is quite incongruous in both history and place. Historically Haiti has been downtrodden by corrupt kings, presidents, "presidents for life" and military leaders, one after another. And the building itself stands out in stark contrast to common living conditions throughout the capital city, excepting those lifestyles of the upper tier ruling or drug-running classes (if they are different).
