Haiti Photo Stories

Nothing tastes better than an ice cold Prestige beer and some 5-star Rum Barbancourt when hanging out at the beach in Haiti. This is a picture for my recent trip to Labadie haiti.

Everyone thinks a Labadie is exclusive only to cruise ships. That's not true at all. Labadie Beach, also called "Labadee" to make it easier for Americans to pronounce it, is private but there are many other beaches in the Labadie peninsula.

I was hanging out in one of those public beaches closer to Labadie Village.

Look at this photo... There is a new social class in Haiti called the NGO Class. These are expatriates living like kings in Haiti on AID money, only a few drops of which reach the people it is intended for...

What do you think about that?

Life is not easy for a Ti Machann, the Haitian women who sell products on the sides of the streets, the products are so expensive these days less people buy from her.

How can she make ends meet when the products she buys to resell is so expensive while her customers have little money to buy from her?

Ever since I was younger my family and friends affectionately kept calling me Bigfoot. I used to get so upset but then I realized I was the only size 13 in my family.

Not anymore!

During our last family vacation in Cancun mexico, my little brother Eddie didn't hide it on our WhatsApp family group.

He took a picture of me walking at the beach and posted it saying "we found Bigfoot".

I love you too brother.

Dumbass!

I remember taking this picture during a time when Haiti was in Peyi Lock mode. Some children in parts of Haiti were able to go to school without any interference from bad politicians who decided to put the country on lock-down.

During Peyi Lock in Haiti walking home from school in Haiti was was a luxury that Haitian students could not afford since most schools were closed.

I am looking at this picture and I feel like I am living in a dream. a beautiful beach resort in Cote-de-Fer Haiti more beautiful than Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

Well, that was the dream when Stephanie Villedrouin was Minister of Tourism in Haiti and everyone was talking about Haiti being opened for business.

Everyone thought finally the investors would come, build beautiful hotels and resorts in the breathtaking beach sides of southern Haiti.

Strangely, Haiti crawled away from this beautiful dream into this alternate reality that every Haitian in their right mind want to escape.

This is what developers have in mind for Cotes-de-Fer Haiti...

Every day Haitians are going to Punta Cana, bragging about bragging about something that are not ours.

Why don't we make build our own Punta Cana in Haiti?

We have blue ocean.

We have white sandy beaches.

What do you say?
