Where I Live

In addition to questions about my house, I often get questions from people about the "village" or "town" I live in. Here is an aerial photo of part of Bohoc. If you right click on the photo, hopefully you will get a menu that will allow you to open the photo in a larger version in another window and see the writing.
In the mean time, I will explain what I can here. The light blue curved line is National route 3 -- our 2 lane dirt main highway! If you drive toward the top of the photo, you go to Cap Haitien. If you drive toward the bottom of the photo, you go to Port-au-Prince. The yellow outline is the aproximate boundry of the land owned by HAFF. The pink numbers are designating the school buildings and homes. #1 is the administration building, 3 - 13 are the school and shop buildings. #15 is my house and the higher numbers are the dorm and other houses. You can see how many houses surround HAFF!
This next photo is another angle showing the school and houses on the HAFF campus. But you can also get a better idea of the homes to the north of HAFF, "in front" of the campus on the road and across the road. Houses line the road but get pretty sparse the farther off the road you go.
This photo was taken by a member of the team from Chattanooga. It might be right out front of our gate, I am not sure. But even if it is not, it could be! This young man would be a local boy taking his family's plowing team to the river for a drink or to another garden or pasture to graze. This is a common sight right outside HAFF.
This photo is definately taken right outside the front gate looking up the road toward Cap Haitien. The fence on the left is HAFF's fence. The brown building behind the fence is the clinic. The administration building is just out of the photo to the left. So, Bohoc is not a town, or even a village, but a rural area with a cluster of homes and churches and small businesses within a short distance of the main road. It is a nice place to live.
