Though I grew up in the area and lived also on" Rue Capois" by the Oloffson, 
I first visited it in April 1996 when touring parts of Haiti. That was the 
first time I saw Morse playing with his band and then Manno Charlemagne 
(mayor of P-au-P at that time) was also playing. A great place for artists 
and tourists to be. We (the group I was with) had such a fine dinner (really 
great Creole food!). Everything was fine and we felt secured (with all the 
armed guards in the court yard). This hotel has a lot of history behind it 
besides its apperance in "The Comedians / Les Comediens", one of Green's 
novels and Morse should do his very best to preserve this historical 
landmark.
