Tour through Haiti

I was incredibly lucky to get a tour through Port-au-Prince yesterday. I'm gonna post a lot of pics from the day over the course of today.

As I mentioned before, its not a beautiful city. It smells like shit and putrescence (I learned that word yesterday). There is rubble everywhere, but to be honest, its not always evident what is from the earthquake and what is from utter poverty. Gutters are filled with green "water" that overflows into the streets.

But one of the things that really struck me was the extent of the poverty. There aren't shantytowns, like Wyclef tells us. The entire city is a big-ass shantytown.
