During part of our time in Jacmel we were kind of "stuck" in one place. The day that we had planned on going to Mother Teresa's orphanage happened to fall on a day of political unrest :( The roads were blocked with demonstrators and it just wasn't safe to go out.

Because we couldn't drive anywhere Darlys took us to see some of the sights close to her house.

| Walking between property's |
We went to visit one of her neighbors that is an artist and is in the process of renovating her property into a bed and breakfast. The lady wasn't home but the boy that was watching her property let us walk around and look at the art.

She used a lot of glass bottles and tires in her artwork.

We were disappointed that we didn't get to go out and visit the children and workers at the orphanage but we did enjoy the sights. Jacmel is a beautiful area to be "stuck" in :)
