Saint Marc, Haiti 2014 pt2

As I mentioned in my previous post Saint Marc, Haiti 2014 Saint Marc is a coastal town which means it is surrounded with bodies of beautiful clear turquoise beaches. There are lots of public beaches that you can go to and enjoy the beautiful all year round summer weather. Or you pick from a handful of private beaches if you wish. Private beaches comes with more commendations, customer service, and more peach and quiet. Most of the private beaches are located in a town in  Saint Marc call Montrouis, the cost of the beaches start from $5 to $40 US dollars (226G to 1,812G Haitian Gourde), that includes entry fee, Internet wifi, and a buffet of delicious Haitian cuisines. On our trip me, and my family deices to enjoy the "Club Indigo" beach formally known as Club Med, and the historical Moulin Sur Mer. 


Moulin Sur Mer was originally a sugar cane plantation that slaves in Haiti built and worked. Almost of the artifacts on the plantation are original.  for more info check out both hotel's website: Moulin Sur Mer Club Indigo






















Saint Marc, Haiti 2014 pt1

A little bit from my vacation to Haiti.

I stayed in Saint Marc (Sen Mak); where I was born, and leaved until the age of 10 before moving to the states to Brooklyn, New York. Saint Marc is a coast port town in the west of Haiti. These pictures capture some candid moments on my trip to a small town in Saint Marc(country side) where my grand mother was born and some family members still live. I was happy and grateful that I visited this part of Saint Marc because it teaches me to be happy with what I have and to appreciate life. The people there are very happy, kind, and appreciative

My cousin and sister on the "ti moto" stand for little bike our way to get fresh coconuts and bread fruit for the family feast. The "ti moto" has become the main source of public transportation in Saint Marc beating the colorful "kamyonet" or "tap tap".

Selfie with myself, "ti moto" driver, my sister, and my cousin. In Saint Marc, Haiti the "ti moto" can hold up to 4 passengers but I don't recommend it for safety reasons.
