Queens watching the Lion King

Queens watching the Lion King!!?  Humm... you might be curious to know who are those queens? Were are they? What exactly i am talking about? Well, look at these pictures and tell me what you see...

 

Ahhh! you see what i am talking about now? From left to right in the first picture are : Amahoola Ikechi, Princess Na (me), and Martine. Second picture from left to right are: Princess Na (me again lol) ,Steph, and Amahoola Ikechi.
We decided to watch "Lion King 3D"because we consider ourselves queens, Haitian queens that is. So now it became" Queens watching The Lion King."
We had a lot of fun. We took beautiful pictures, this one is my favorite:

Notice how we are all different in looks but we are still natural beauties. That is real Haitian queenly beauty for you lol
This was a great outing! Oh i forgot to say: While we decided to take a picture of all of us together, the camera fell down and broke. Our hearts collectively broke in pieces... well not really we still enjoyed ourselves . Thanks Ladies! Thanks my Queens!

Grottes: Caves in Haiti

While looking at beautiful places to add to my Haiti travel plans, I stumbled upon Grotte Marie-Jeanne. I was in awe! It looked intimidating and breathtaking at the same time. I wanted to learn more about it, and other caves in Haiti. I thought about preservation and the touristic values that those caves presented all the while doubting that anything positive is being done with those beautiful sites.

With a little research, I found the caves of Haiti project where I learned that although a lot of caves have been found, there has only been 2 explorations done in Haiti prior to the group working on them in 2008. Imagine the history hiding inside those walls! I'm a living history fanatic. I mean, real artifacts and pictographs from the indigenous people are hiding inside those caves! Things like this excite me and it breaks my heart that they exist and we don't get the chance to explore and appreciate them.

Mystery surround those caves in Haiti, with lots of folklore tales and voudou ceremonies that keep some people away. Those, like or otherwise who do frequent those caves with no guides and precaution destroy a lot historical artifacts and leave things behind like graffiti, unfortunately.
At any rate, I hope to be able to visit at least one of the caves someday. Preferrably one without any big spiders... or any deadly animals. Which probably means if I make it to one, I'll just stand outside and take pictures ha!
Check out the project started in 2009 here http://www.cavesofhaiti.org/Les-Grottes,2.html sorry but the site is in French.
Here are some pictures of Grotte Marie-Jeanne, which is possibly the biggest cave in the Caribbean. It's a series of caves that is situated in the Southwest region of Haiti, part of the "Massif de la Hotte" area. It's in Port a Piment
Enjoy!
