Day Twelve Question: What Do Houses Look Like in Haiti?

 Daddy and mommy took this picture of the houses in Port au Prince.  It's hard to see the houses but you can tell how close they are together.


Daddy took this picture of Cap Haitien.  Not as many people live in Cap Haitien so the houses aren't as close as they are in Port au Prince.


This is a hill that leads to many houses.  The houses are on a hill so if there is a flood the houses won't get flooded.  And they are not on the bottom of the hill so the water won't run off the hill into their house.


Houses are often made out of whatever the people can find like dirt, mud, sticks, and wood.  They can use cloth for a door.  Mommy and daddy visited this house while they were in Haiti.


This is inside the house in the picture on top.  They have dirt and rock floors.  My brother and sister are looking around.

  1. Wow! That's amazing, Zoe. So different from what we live in here.

    My daughter also wants to know if there are snakes in Haiti. :)
