Place Boyer, Pétionville

While driving through Petionville recently, we passed a park that had just been redone; finishing touches were underway.  In the new design, colorful mosaics cover outbuildings, walls, and steps.  It wasn't a beautiful day for taking photos, but I had to try anyway.

A few days later, I came upon this article in the Nouvelliste, the local paper, about its inauguration.  Place Boyer was home to a large number of people following the earthquake, but it was one of those places from which people have now moved.  I hope they have now found homes and that they can come enjoy the park under better circumstances.
