So we have this kind man (along with what appeared to be the rest of his family) to thank for our safe, smooth trip up to Basin Bleu church today. In absence of the government improving roads (which, by the way, they are doing a great job of—just not in this area), people have taken to some interesting methods of funding road improvements. 
So this guy has chosen this particular chunk of the road to keep up. But how can he possibly spend all day volunteering to work on a road and still support his family? The kindness of others. It's a pretty common practice in Haiti to see random people working on a road. And if you have the money, you can stop and give them some. No tax, no pressure—I didn't feel any from him—but the system works. Those that can't afford to pay don't and those that can do. Nice.
So why I am so thankful to this guy and his family? Look off the outside edge of this corner—
It's a pretty long drop.
