Three hours from Port-au-Prince is the town of Aquin with beaches overlooking the Caribbean Sea. From the balcony of the elegant Aldy Hotel, one can get a panoramic view of the harbor and of the quaint, historic town. Little known heroes are immortalized here. The main street is named for Julien Raimond, the Aquin born co-writer of Toussaint Louverture's 1801 Constitution which abolished slavery in Haiti.
One of the most unexpected pleasures in Aquin is a simple sunrise....
