Some photos

I mentioned briefly in my last post that I got a little mixed up with the time change. The result was that I got to watch the sunrise over Port-au-Prince, which was great! Here are a few of the photos from that morning.

The fully constructed and filled swimming pool on the otherwise unfinished roof. 

This area was only blocks from our very fancy hotel. Extravagance and poverty as neighbors.

A beautifully painted wall during our driving tour of the city.

Typical street in Port-au-Prince.

THIS is the church referenced in the last post. It was once very beautiful, but collapsed almost completely into rubble during the earthquake. Apparently there are still some sermons held there, though.

I love the painted advertisements. It seems like almost everything in Haiti is painted.

We stopped at the Hotel Olaffson. It's a beautiful compound with some quirky art.

A living wall! So cool!

We drove up into the mountains for a hike, and stopped for a scenic view along the way. The side of the road had some beautiful examples of Haitian metal work.

Some cool plant wall art.

"Papa Noel" - our fantastic professor Gordon.

During our hike we saw a man carrying a huge pile of woven baskets on his head!

Several more tap-taps!
