Ayiti Blogged!

Press play and enjoy the ride. These are two short videos I created with my dinky Kodak camera while cruising through the streets of Port-au-Prince on a rainy day. There is something about seeing the people of Haiti in motion and the colorful tap-taps once more that makes me smile. It may not be tomorrow and perhaps I’m a little too optimistic in my saying so, but I know that it will one day work out for the tiny Caribbean country. Video: Adrienne C. Wilson

I’m still working on the creative Haiti travel piece for my personal [Adrienne-is] travel page, but I’ve recently completed a six part series at Gadling. I’d say it’s worth much of your attention if you know little about Haiti or even if you think you know a lot. This doesn’t go to say that I’m close to being an expert on the place either — far from it. I’d need to make a few more trips back before getting anywhere close and I’d like to make more trips. There are several beaches in south left to find as well as the north. Anyways, please check out the plugs as I have conveniently left the links below for easy online travel to Haiti.
