Praise ye LORD! Praise GOD in his sanctuary! Praise him in the firmament of his Power! Praise him for his mighty acts! Praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with the sound of the trumpet! Praise him with the lute and harp! Praise him with the tumbrel and dance! Praise him with stringed instruments and organs! Praise him upon the loud cymbals! Praise him upon the high sounding cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise ye LORD. (Psalm 150)

HAITI TOURISM     

        HAITI THE FIRST BLACK REPUBLIC.                                                                     

Haiti is a mysterious, beautiful, colorful island filled with works of great art and music as well as eland suffering strife and economic chaos are the moment. I believe that land that defeated the armies of Napoleon to establish the second oldest republic in North America will find a way to overcome the tremendous challenges and numerous dilemmas that face them and restore peace to the island.

Haiti is a French-speaking nation that occupies one-third of the main island called Hispaniola the rest of the island is shared by the Spanish-speaking Dominican Republic.

The people of Haiti are world famous for the artwork, music and cuisine. Before the recent tumultuous events  that have engulfed the nation, Haiti was rebuild itself as premier Caribbean vacation destination. 

With cruise ships calling on the scenic rock cliff lined beaches of Labadie and global tourism fanning out across the island to explore the historic and cultural treasures of Port-au-Prince or the impressive and imposing walls of the largest fortress in the Caribbean the Citadels of Laferriere.

And the other lesser forts or palaces built during the time of Napoleon.

   These were crucial lynchpins in the Haitian revolution, witch produced the first Black Republic as well as the second oldest republic in the Americas and the first successful slave revolt in history.
