We pass by a store riddled with graffitti that advertises selling Clairin, a strong, made-in-Haiti only spirit very similar to rum, since it is also made from cane sugar, and it is also used extensively in herbal folk-medicine remedies. But it is cheaper and less refined than rum, and also less regulated, which has given rise to some recent health disasters that Georgianne writes about in her article, Death in a Bottle for a Handful of Haitian Coins.
Now we are approaching the Truttier refuse dump, with, sadly, makeshift tents and ramshackle dwellings camouflaged in the background of this rather unsanitary area:
