Reform versus Renewal

Are we really to understand that the prime minister has appointed two ministers whose mandate is to hope the opposition behaves better?

Lwa of the Marketplace

The red building in this picture is the iron market in Port-au-Prince. I took this picture on the first day I arrived, a Sunday morning. Because it's a Sunday, the market is suprisingly empty. Most days, the road is packed with people and tables and stalls. There's often a big production when a larger-than-average car or truck tries to get through one of the roads.

These two pictures were taken at the market in Jacmel several days later.

I find the markets in Haiti really fascinating.
