PORT-AU-PRINCE — Along Route de Delmas this past Monday, street vendors set up shop on the sidewalks, once more stacking appliances onto shelves, leaning bed frames and mattresses against walls, and hanging shoes and clothing in the open markets.
One one side of the road, buyers with shopping bags in hand, bargained for prices they could afford. Across the street, another group of buyers surrounded vendors of soft drinks, patés, and leafy teas. Vendors, taking advantage of a few quiet days, hawked their wares, shouting out deals to passersby.
