When our bus pulled in from Santo Domingo, we realized we had arrived in Pétionville, a suburb of Port-au-Prince and far from where we wanted to stay. A taxi driver/painter took us in his rickety car down to the city, where it was not easy to find a good place to stay. Early next morning, we set out for a first exploratory walk in the Haitian capital, and explored the Champs de Mars, the central area which also is the main sightseeing zone. We saw a black column with the constitution of 1804, establishing the newly born independent state of Haiti. On the square, several squads of teenagers were energetically playing football, watched by an enthusiastic crowd.
