A few random photos from a day outside of Port-au-Prince

A lovely home made door, at the complex next to Father Benite's church.

A pretty cool looking round building in the village near Father Benite's church.

These bricks are so beautiful. Unfortunately, they're mortared with cement, which didn't fare very well in the earthquake.

Here's one of our new acquaintances who had built his own house. He built his roof of sugar cane- and is soooooo proud of it. He swears this roof keeps his house cooler than his neighbours.

I'll have to ask Alex once again the name of this tree- it is so gorgeous!

I love the colours of this house. The window openings are cement, with a pattern pressed out of them.

This family was so beautiful. The house in the background belongs to their grand-grandmother (as they say here). Their three daughters were hams for the camera!

And a contrast- one of the gingerbread houses!
