sorry about it being sideways...but this is my host family. it's a picture of a picture.


when it rains it pours! well not all the time but this was madness. look under the tree to the left and you will see two chickens under a bench :)

a typical Beninese gas station.


me in front of a gi-normous, gorgeous tree in the sacred forest!


this is The Point of No Return...the port where slaves were loaded up on ships headed to the Americas. sad.

we were all so happy to be at the beach. it was beautiful and the water was warm...don't worry, no one went swimming ;)
this is what a typical bush taxi looks like. we were loading up to go out on our post visit!

we had to filler' up before we went!

front of my house.

this was taken from my bedroom, at the back of the house. the room in front is my living room aka-salon, and the area in front of that is my covered patio area. behind us is my kitchen and bathroom...with a toilet!! and shower!

a view from my school--CEG3.

they balance all sorts of stuff on their heads.

a taxi full of tomatoes and a taxi-moto with jugs of gas...
