The land of artists and philosophers—Haiti

Following up on “Think you know Haiti?”

The beauty of Haiti stands in contrast to its tortured history as a plaything of great powers. It is surrounded by water, the Caribbean on the north, west, and south, and the Artibonite river on the east. Two mountain chains in the south and one north-west of Port au Prince give the country many different vistas, with valleys and forests. Pic la Selle is the highest mountain in Haiti and second in the Caribbean. Located in the south-east, it peak is 8,793 feet or 2,240 meters high.

But what makes a country is its people. On every street corner, it seems, there is someone painting.
