Detour Vialet
Taking a quick detour - following the Mayor of Vialet driving a quick little scooter, we travel a small one lane mud and dirt track through old corn fields to a community near lake Miragoane. Here FFP is planning 20 Talapia cages for the lake and the community is requesting homes. The lake is beautiful and bordered by rice fields and mountains to the south. We were treated to fresh coconut water and pulp then munched on fresh sugar cane as we hiked to the lake shore and listened to stories of Bernard's youth and hunting trips into the mountains.
Now its a quick pace to Aquin and our nights lodgings.
