Haiti Photo Stories

Woke up one morning taking my morning walk and I discovered a bunch of goats laying right on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Guayamouc River enjoying the view.

These are the little things that are probably meaningless to the average Haitian who sees it everyday and probably why they think I am crazy when they see me taking a picture of goats.

I think it's cute.

What do you think about the view and the goats.
