Anse Rouge, Haiti

On the way back from our adventurous trip to Môle Saint-Nicolas, we made a stop in Anse Rouge to pick up our driver whom we left behind with our disabled vehicle. He quickly noticed the pickup truck we got on back in Môle Saint-Nicolas right front tire lug nuts were completely loose and the tire would have come off if we didn't stop. An hour later, because of some additional minor repairs, we hit the road once more heading to Gonaives where we spent the night.

This photo was taken from the SUV window while it was being towed. We were about 15mns away from Anse Rouge, in the l'Artibonite and the sun was going down. It took us about 14 hrs to get to Môle Saint-Nicolas because of car trouble we were having since the beginning of our trip, and the engine finally gave out in the middle of nowhere. We were rescued by a frequent traveler to Haiti who happens to know our writer JEM - Since he was on his way to Môle Saint-Nicolas, he gave us a ride and we reached our destination at 10:30 pm.
