Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?
In the lush embrace of Haiti’s mountains lies the Citadelle Laferriere, a monumental sentinel that stands guard over the past. As I approach this colossal fortress, I feel as if I am traversing the spine of history, where every stone whispers tales of resilience and courage. Its walls, weathered yet proud, are like the ancient wrinkles of a wise elder who has seen the tides of time.
The Citadelle rises against the sky, a stalwart giant crowned with jagged peaks, shimmering in the Golden Hour’s embrace, much like a sun-kissed jewel adorned with nature’s finest adornments. It cradles the spirit of liberty, a lighthouse guiding the hearts of those who dare to dream of freedom. As I wander its expansive courtyard, the cannons, silent soldiers of a bygone era, seem to echo the thunderous heartbeat of a nation that fought against oppression.
The grandeur of this citadel captivates my soul, beckoning me to reflect on the struggles woven into its foundation. I leave with a profound sense of reverence, carrying the weight of its legacy within me, as if I have been entrusted with a fragment of Haiti’s indomitable spirit.
