adrianbye > Like good immigrants, we crossed the river to get back into the DR since the border was closed! Carlos my guide is being carried here, I was carried across just before him. The haitian guy is strong - Carlos weighs 250lb! You can read more about the trip, including see additional photos here: http://www.adrianbye.com/2008/08/27/how-i-safely-visited-haiti/
adrianbye > Uh oh! When we got back to the DR - Haiti border, it was closed early!! What to do? Spend the night in the small, not very safe border town?
adrianbye > A bus for travelling home. The boy in the picture is holding a cordless telephone which functions as a phonebooth - you pay him to make calls around the country.
adrianbye > The beach is very nice. We met some Chilean UN peacekeepers; very friendly guys. I suspect they're not used to many foreigners at the moment.
adrianbye > Inside Labadie beach is clean and organized, just like Disneyland. Everything is in english. Its a dramatic contrast from the poverty outside and took some getting used to.
adrianbye > On Sunday morning we went to a private cruise ship tourism beach; Labadie. It is closed 4 days of the week for US cruise ships; we went on one of the days haitians are allowed in. Tourists are not allowed to leave the area and haitians are not allowed in
adrianbye > The pool from our hotel, we went for a very long swim to relax after riding horses all day
adrianbye > Riding back down the mountain (1 hour). The guides all walked while we rode.
adrianbye > An original cannon, pointed to defend against the French to ensure Haiti maintained its independence
