Where I live 2

These photos were taken out in the road right near what used to be our back gate and is now the Experimental Garden. They will kind of give you a flavor of the rural community in which I live.
This first photo is of Maranatha Baptist Church of Bohoc. It is the first church I ever attended in Haiti and is the one that is closest to my house as the crow flies -- I can hear the choirs rehearsing very well! It is sometimes refered to as "the church across the street" since it is very close to our property.
This is the street in front of Maranatha looking away from HAFF toward Pignon. Beyond the church you can see the church school building. Most churches in Haiti have church run primary schools that meet during the week. You can't see it due to the trees, but there are houses and gardens behind and beyond the church.
This is across the street from the last photo. We are still looking away from HAFF. There are 3 houses in this photo. And this is about as congested as the housing gets in Bohoc!
This is again from about the same spot as the last 2 photos. This time we are looking the other direction toward HAFF's front gate. Just beyond the people standing on the right, is the old back gate which is now the experimental garden. HAFF's property line swings around behind 4 houses or so and then comes back to the main road at Met Phanes' house and the clinic and then the front gate. The road in all these photos is National Route 3 -- the main interior road from Port-au-Prince to Cap Haitien and the 34r major route in Haiti! Posted by Picasa
