Abaka Bay at Ile-a-Vache, paradise on earth
advertisement
If you have not been to Abaka Bay in Ile-a-Vache, you can't tell me you know Haiti.
This is quite different than the usual busy live we come to get use to in the state. The most amazing thing for me in Abaka Bay was seating in front of the local people and listening to their stories. They have so many untold stories to tell you, you would have to spend at least a month there to listen to all of them.
Have you ever heard the history of Madame Bernard and Mr. Cox?
The history of L’Ile a Vache, as it was told by it’s inhabitants, reveals that Mr. Cox and Madame Bernard were a foreign couple who came to visit the Ile-a-Vache, fell in love with it, and decided to move and leave there. They were in love with the Island because of its beautiful white Sandy Beaches, its green mountain field with all kinds of vegetations and farm animals. As they discovered the beauty of the Island, they decided to help the people living in it by building schools and cafeteria for the children, and family care clinics for the village.
Although they were in harmony with the vision they had for the Island, their personal relationship was no so good. The village people claimed that the couple was always arguing, fighting, and shouting at each other. Then one day, Mrs. Bernard had a huge fight with her husband and left the house. She got her own place on the other side of the Island, far away from Mr. Cox. There she continued to help the village and eventually created a huge flee market for goods and food exchange.
The People of the village named Mrs. Bernard’s home area “Madame Bernard’s place” and Mr. Cox’s home area “Mr. Cox’s place”.
There are just a few places on earth you can have an experience similar to the one I had in Abaka Bay. It is a great place in Haiti and yet many Haitians do not know about it.
