The Iron Market no longer exists. It was destroyed in a fire. When we were there, however, it was a land mark building in downtown Port-au-Prince. The others were the Oloffson Hotel, which still stands, and the Presidential Palace, which was destroyed by the 2010 earthquake.
The development work we did in Haiti included potable water, school feeding, small business, farm to market roads, reforestation and coffee plantation, among other things.
Our house in Bourdon Park with pool and terrace.

I had my art studio on the lower level - lots of light and a walk out terrace.

Raphael used to climb the coconut palms for fresh coconuts.
Some of my artwork
The Brouettier was ubiquitous in Port-au-Prince, hauling heavy loads like a beast of burden.
The art piece mounted on burlap was sold at my show at Le Papyrus in Petionville.
The "gingerbread" house was another typically Haitian sight.
​
The sculpture, as you can see is a replica of the actual house at the right. The scupture was placed on two rough boards connected be iron strapa to represent a rustic shutter of the house. It was also sold at the Le Papyrus art show.
Cap Haitienne and the Citadel
When Margrit's family visited us in Haiti, we went to Cap Haitienne, the Citadel and Comiere Plage.
​
We loved Comiere Plage and the one man band.
