i've been to haiti recently (i'm white). if you don't feel the allure of haiti it's hard to explain much. to those in the know the romantic pull towards haiti is unrelenting... i call it a conradian pull. citadelle laferrire all to myself was so kino. this was built entierly by haitians, not the french. the architecture was haitian, the builders, the financers, etc. everything. it was constructed in the haitian golden age under henri christophe to prevent french attempts to retake haiti.
