It's not that most of love this place or often come here to gamble, it's that the El Rancho Casino is a uniquely Haitian scene. You can't really understand Haiti's elite if you haven't seen this side of the country.

Quartier Jalousie

Hundreds of homes painted pink, blue, yellow, green, teal, and purple appear as a painting from afar. This project is perennially controversial as the homes of this impoverished zone were simply painted but not earthquake-retrofitted after the 2010 quake. Despite this, residents have mixed feelings and many are proud of the new look.

A natural spring fills this outdoor pool on the western end of Thomazeau. On any given day you might find children swimming, women and girls doing laundry, and a gaggle of young men sitting around the concrete picnic benches drinking beer and playing checkers. The pool itself has a concrete outer rim with moss-covered steps down on two sides.

Fort Jacques

Fort Jacques is one of the places I always take guests to visit. While most of the "history" you hear from guides is just legend, the fort itself is still worth the trip. It is actually a revolutionary war era building, but no, the mortar between the stones was not made with the blood of disobedient soldiers.

In previous years, this outlook was a sketchy crop of concrete on the top of Mount Boutillier, just passed the TV and radio towers. Though a restaurant and bar takes up most of the space now, it’s still a good spot to get a view of the city.

For those of us who don't own cars we either hire a car (for a trip or a day) or we rent. Avis is a reliable, though expensive, option for renting cars. Employees tend to be very well trained and friendly, and many speak English. You can rent a car and if you don't have a guide, the office can help you find one.

This gingerbread hotel houses a restaurant (USD$12-15 for lunch, $14-25 for dinner) that is also the site of a weekly live concert (on Thursdays) by the band RAM. It is quirky, beautiful, and a uniquely Haitian experience to sit on the veranda and drink a rum punch at this historic hotel.
