Photos of Les Cayes (taken by Mia)

Anna Ray chases someone's fancy dinner behind the Hotel in Cayes.

Most of the gas pumps are empty, and surrounded by long lines of men. It's easiest to buy gasoline one gallon at time from a roadside vendor.

Corey inquires about borrowing a scooter at the Merci Jesus Shop.

A street scene.

It seems like all of the signs in Cayes are handpainted.

Cayes is the third-largest city in Haiti. We stayed at the Hotel Meridien; these are the pleasures we found.

In the restaurant next door someone fashioned these sustainable and lovely curtains.

Many businesses invoke God on their signs, both to give thanks, and as a bulwark against jealousy, saying: this was a gift.

Merci Dieu.

Luc and Anna Ray love sugarcane. Who wouldn't?

"All is vanity."

Tap-tap buses.
