We "Haitians" have a tendency to forget that we belong to the "BLACK" race.

I know it' s summer there now. Wish I was there to enjoy an afternoon in this park feeding the pigeons .....It's so cold in NY nowadays.... Bravo Pikliz and thanks for posting these wonderful pictures.

Another Anonymous.. I greatly enjoyed the pictures. Thank you. Do I see a forum sometime in pikliz.com future? I hope so. On another note in re to "he does not have the courage to identify himself" from Manny. While I do not agree with Anonymous at all, because there are fewer places on the web which show as much Haitian pride as www.Pikliz.com, we have to be honest with ourselves that Haitian society does not always condone open dialogue. Especially when it deals with "sensitive" topics of race, class and politics.

This "head" was collected after the fall of Saddam. Remember,he had a series of "Statues" while President of Iraq. One effigy was toppled and the head sent to Kuwait as souvenir.

This is interesting. How did Saddam's head end up in Kuwait? Pikliz, if you can help. Please let us know.

I was born there...what memories!!!!!
Thanks

Madame Rachel Moscoso Denis, je vous complimente pour un travail bien fait , avec coeur et beaucoup de sentiment. A quand le prochain album ?

C'est dommage que le pays a perdu le style de son architecture d'autrefois. Quant a ces couleurs et ces masses de beton je les trouves peu esthetiques.

Le Manoir me rappelle de bons souvenirs. Vers les annees 80 il y avait un petit restaurant tres sympa avec un p'tit " Gren siwel" tres entrainant. Il est temps que cette epoque nous revienne au pays.

Que de "PEPE" ont envahis le pays. C'est dommage qu'il n'y ait une pas une loi protegeant les facades de ces jolis gingerbread qui ont tendences a disparaitre.

What a surprise to see that picture there . It was taken in 1977 during Philippe Vorbe's jubile . That Team 's name was Estudiantes , as we were all studying in various Universities in Port au Prince at that time . We were Champion of the Petionville League and went on to the national Championship and were defeated by Aigle Noir in semi finals 1-0 , unfortunately the very week where all of us were having our year's end exams .

Encore un coin pour les rencontres carnavalesques a l'epoque s'y trouvait le restaurant de feu Gaetan Blanchet.

Je ne me rappelle plus le nom de ce restaurant, mais c'etait le rendez-vous des jours de carnaval au Champs de Mars. Ah! voila: le Napoli Restaurant.

Meme sur une photo, cette rue garde son identite. Entre l'avenue Christophe et la ruelle N: Ruelle 6.

Est-ce a l'avenue 3?

Je m'etonne qu'elle tienne encore - J'avais 17 ans la derniere fois que je l'ai vue - souvenir d'enfance.

Souvenirs du Champs de Mars -

Un si beau pays!

Nostalgie!

Je dirais plutot la ruelle M - souvenir d'enfance
