Instead of rock candy mountains, I was surrounded by mountains covered mostly with mango trees. I have learned that there are many different varieties of mangos, some of which only grow in certain areas. Riveyè Marcel is most famous for the "mango Francis" which is one of the largest varieties. They aren't in season yet, but come spring time, I will do my best to find a mango Francis from Riveyè Marcel to try.
You could see mountains just about everywhere, but the best view was from the top of the large hill behind the house I was staying in. You had to climb the hill to get cell phone reception and I climbed it to help figure out the Internet situation on the sister's laptop and then to help one of the sisters send an email. Despite the difficulties I had figuring out how to work a computer that was partially in French and partially in English and then explaining everything in Creole, it was a beautiful spot to work.
