To put some faces to the names...
Orquedia and I
In the kitchen at Jilda's house. Her mother is making the dough for bisquitte, a delicious Haitian bread baked over charcoal that she sells in the evening about once a week. Other days she sells empanadas or fried potatoes with a spicy sauce. Customers gather on the plastic chairs outside the house, their dinners often bought on credit and recorded by Jilda in a notebook.
Maria and Nino, Jilds's little brother and sister, hamming it up.
Jilda and Alba outside a newly painted house. Probably a result of the election season. Most houses in the batey are a mix of wood like this one, cement filling, and for those that can afford it, cement block.
A peek at the village outside Orquidea's house. Photos that actually give you a sense of the place coming soon....
