    Peeling duties
    by marcoparco
    Tasting sugarcane is a must when in Haiti. It is something that is very popular in this region. you can compare it to some sort of branch. You cut the red peeling off to get to the nice and juicy center. Suck out the sweet juice until you have had enough! I found it to be very addicting. I turned into the team peeler during the second trip!

    Beer and Silver
    by marcoparco
    Yes, the beer is a must see activity! The most common beer in Haiti is "Prestige". Seriously it is not to bad.....I actually liked it!
    This stuff is found anywhere and is approxiamtely 60 cents US. Yes 60 cents US!!!

    November 2004-- It looks as the Prestige beer company has followed in the western worlds footsteps. They have now created a shmirnoff like cooler named "Prestige Silver"

    As travelers know, travelling leads travellers to learn about different cultures (say travel what!!). I took this oppurtunity to play in this 3 nation volleyball match. It's not everyday you will be able to play volleyball with Canadians, Jordanians, and Pakistinians. It was pretty darn fun!!

    road!
    by marcoparco
    I am not encouraging this activity however I would definetly reccomend it! Ok so I am encouraging it!!!hahaha One day me and a team member had the idea to ride in the back of this pickup truck. Yes there was room in the cab but we thought we would be a little andventurous and daredevilish. We hoped in the back and it turned out to be the best drive ever! We got to see so much compared to when you are in the vehicle. Yes I admit it was dangerous and I would advise you to use your own discretion all while considering your comfort level! Can't wait to have another ride next year!

    The boys dancing
    by marcoparco
    Great dance and music! I wasn't expecting much when we went....boy was I suprised. These are young boys who originaly used to live on the streets of Port-au-Prince. Now they live at this home where they sleep, eat, go to school, pray and well yeah...DANCE! I was blown away by the choreography. They were truly amazing. For 5$ US it was well worth it!!!! They also have a guesthouse.

    This is the only picture I made in downtown Port-au-Prince.
    The capital of Haiti has about 500 000 inhabitants, most of them living in flat buildings and slums.
    On my picture is the mainstreet close to the port, obviously decorated by these small flags during christmas-time.

    my
    painting...someday..hopefully
    by marcoparco
    Hatians are unbelievably artistic in many ways. The most amazing I find is there ability to paint. I have seen some of the most beautiful paintings during my travels to Haiti Haiti. One night we decided to visit a well known art gallery (I beleive called la gallerie Nader). The paintings were not your normal street paintings that you see on every corner. The average painting went for over 1000 american dollars. A little over my budget although the team leader boguht a few. I will stick to the paintings that you can bargain foron the street. Plus they are also beautiful and sometimes have a special meaning.

    The pic is of me with my favorite picture at the gallery. Told myslef I would go back and get it someday!

    The mountains....
    by marcoparco
    Over the the past few decades, trees have become few and far between in Haiti. Today the country has less 1.5 percent of its original forest cover. Despite this Haiti still has a beautiful landscape with many amazing mountains. It is still very beautifull and this is definetly worth some yuor gazing attention.

    When driving about to your destination sometimes it is important to accentuate the positive. In the midst of mass poverty, hope is found in the reconctruction that is going on here and there. I was stunned to see this nice looking building being built just a few minutes from the airport.
