Aerial View en route to Cap-Haïtien
This picture gives a good idea of the scale of deforestation
in the Haitian countryside.

Cap-Haïtien Street Scene (2)
The city, Haiti's second largest, is an attractive blend of French
and Spanish colonial architecture.

Old French Fort
One of the three ruined colonial-era forts on the western
outskirts of Cap-Haïtien.
The Mother of All Cacti

drying on the cactus spines.

One of my favourite photos of the trip.
Miriam and Friend
En route to the Citadelle (see following gallery), we paid extra
to ride up front in the truck. A Haitian woman in the rear handed her baby
through the window and asked Miriam to hold him for the duration
of the ride. We were both wondering whether the mother would still be on
board when the journey ended. Our paranoia was unjustified. Miriam looks
so lovely here.
Help me find my Haitian amigo!
This guy, whom I knew simply as "Jackson," hung out in
the Place d'Armes in Cap-Haïtien, chatting up tourists
(he speaks excellent English based on several years living
in the U.S.). He gave me e-mail addresses to contact him
after I left, but none of them worked. I'm really eager to
get back in touch with Jackson. If anyone knows him and/or how
to contact him, or is willing to stroll down to the Place
d'Armes on their next visit to O'Cap and ask around, I would be
very grateful. Please ask (and perhaps help) him to contact me
at adamj_jones@hotmail.com.
