Mozambique

Of all the countries along the eastern seaboard of southern Africa, beside the Indian Ocean, Mozambique is perhaps the least known, and that is a pity.

Jacmel, Haiti, - Carnival Time

Jacmel, Haiti, – Carnival Time

Jacmel is a small town, a fishing village, and situated south west of Port au Prince Haiti. While Port au Prince is electric and you need to have our wits about you, Jacmel is laid back, a place where you can walk the streets at any time in safety. It is welcoming, walk able, and atmospheric.

Bankers!

“The conservative banker is an impressive specimen, diffusing the healthy glow which comes of moderation in eating, living, and thinking.
